[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken while we were boating on a river at Mvuu Camp in Luwonde National Park.
We saw a herd of elephants crossing the river. When they had reached the other bank, and as the group was walking away, this large female turned around in a defensive posture. We were impressed.
Taken at 300 mm.

Great shot and what a nice post ... I like it...TFS...Ina...

She is awesome! Full display like that would send anyone or anything scattering! Marvellous natural capture--lucky you! Must have been the trip of a lifetime. Very impressive for a 300mm shot! Well done!

What a great capture of this elephant with his huge ears all fanned out. Magnificent animal. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime kind of moment. TFS. : )

Very nice shot, just a little too small.
Great pose.

Voilà enfin une photo en provenance du MALAWI.
Hé! hé! je connais bien ce coin et j'ai fait le même voyage sur la rivière SHIRE.
Belle photo. (Liwonde National park)
