Great shot, he looks a little frightening. I would have been very frightened! I like the framing against the blue sky, great note, thanks.

Buena captura Christian.
Excelente perspectiva (imagino que no es fácil enfrentarse a un animal de ese porte)
Muy buena nitidez, colorido y composicion, ademas de una interesante nota.

Christian, Great story that makes this photo interesting. This mammoth sure does fill the frame very well I'd say!! Can't quite tell if he's pissed in this one but I'm sure I wouldn't want to find out! ;-)

Belle expérience et sublime photo. Je ne sais pas à quelle vitesse tu as réglé ton appareil, mais apparement tu ne tremblais pas de trop. En effet ça en valait vraiment la peine. Merci. Rudy.

Qui n'aurait pas peur en voyant un tel mastodonte si près. Mais peut-être pensait-il la même chose en vous voyant!!!
Robert a réalisé un très bon 'workshop' de ton image.
Beau travail Chistian.

Christian
This is a VERy good shot of an ellie, they are very difficult to expose well. I would crop off just a bit to the right, placing him nearer the edge. Use a book and cover the image, see the improvement in the compo and impact.

What a fantastic shot of the Bodyguard, Christian. I love his "don't mess with me" stance. And your story is well explained and it gives me a good feeling for this elephant. Very well done, thank you.

You must be brave or crazy to stand in front of an impressive animal like this.
Technically speaking, you picture is good (focus and exposure). For the composition, not much can be done, unless the elephant was smaller in the frame. But as Robert said, getting more details in the dark shadows would more interesting. However those dark shadow suggest a very intensive sun. TFS

This elephant definately noticed you and took some interest in you. You did well to be quiet when they passed, especially if they had young with them. This is very good shot showing the elephant's interest in you. Good POV and DOF. Nice.

What a scary experience! He looks threatening in the photo, I don't blame you for being frightened. Great capture, thanks for sharing.

bonjour Christian,

une jolie capture de cet impressionnant éléphant
on peut voir sa grandeur en le comparant
à l'arbre qu'il y a en arrière à sa droite
