As nice as these African images are, I'm not sure what you want to get out of posting them. I assume that, as with the others, this one is 'taken by a friend who borrowed your camera'. If that's the case, are you simply showing us? Or are you hoping to get some pointers (this is what this section is mostly about).
If you are looking for pointers, then I'm not all that certain what you may gain from any given. As you were not aware of the conditions when the shot was taken - other than being able to look at EXIF details, etc. - you have no idea what was going on in the mind of the photographer.
I guess we can comment on composition though, which would provide a little help for you. In this case, the elephant is missing it's feet
Other than that, I like the angle, and the sepia treatment gives it a nice timeless feel
I am really hoping you post some of your own shots however, and learn from any critiques provided then - that's the best way to make use of the experience on this site We're a bunch of mostly serious amateurs, some professional for many years, some just starting on their phtographic journey. It's this great mix that makes the help you get here invaluable
