Elephant at the Etosha NP

Etosha National Park is a national park in the Kunene Region of northwestern Namibia. The park shares boundaries with the regions of Oshana, Oshikoto and Otjozondjupa. Etosha was first established in 1907, when Namibia was a German colony known as South West Africa. At the time, the park’s original 100,000 km² (38,500 mile²) made it the largest game reserve in the world. Due to political changes since its original establishment, the park is now slightly less than a quarter of its original area, but still remains a very large and significant area in which wildlife is protected.

Cool action shot of this playing Elephants.

Hello Achim,
Hey, you saw elephants in Etosha. I actually was there in December. More or less 3 days and I didn't see an ellie at all. Not even a dropping. And I was respectively in Okaukuejo, Halali and Namutoni.

Great photo - must have been a highly impressive moment - they look pretty frisky.

By the way - that's siome user name you've got there - wondering why I didn't go for Winston Churchill now!

Ciao Achim,
bellissima immagine di elefanti catturati con buona definizione, eccellenti POV e composizione che esaltano la vigoria, la forza e la maestosità di questi splendidi animali, ottimo tempismo nella cattura di questa azione, belli e naturali i colori, buona la gestione dell'esposizione del controluce.
TFS.

Hi Achim.
You have frozen a very natural and attractive scene finely. Great timing, excellent selection of DOF, fine sharpness and details of the main characters of your action and surroundings. My best wishes and TFS. Excellent job.

Hi Achim,
this is very difficult shot to get. Getting near is hard, further more with this ferocious gesture.
Excellent presentation and superbs momenr well shown.Beautiful natural composition.
