Hi Annick

This is superb - you have caught him mid-stride with excellent detail. The damp trunk and broken tusk are great.

Hallo Annick,

Mooi gevangen zo van voren, denk niet dat hij op je wacht en dat hij je zo om ver loopt.
Hij kuiert lekker door, prachtig.

Hi Annick,

Just few shots more before we will get run over. Very good action shot, next time you should use 100-400L as you may zoom back and closest focusing distance is only 1.8 meters: just one more shot...

Great composition, sharpness of details, colours and BG.

Annick,

This is a great shot! You can really tell that he is on a 'mission' - ready to start the day. I have never seen an elephant in the wild but I can appreciate their strength and presence. It is quite funny that you 'started the engine after a few images' - I think I would have never turned it off :))
Very nicely done Annick. TFS

Best Regards

Hallo Annick,
Vanuit zo'n laag standpunt komt hij redelijk dreigend over. Uit ervaring weet ik dat het toch maar beter is om de motor te starten. De wijd uitgespreide oren verraden onrust.
Kwalitief weer een uitstekende foto.
Groet,
Peter

Hi Annick,

Quite a powerful image. African Elephants are the largest land creatures and you have done justice to them with this photograph.

Wow.... Talk about straight at you, Annick.
Definitely a prize-winner in the POV category.
Incredible.
Am glad you somehow determined it was not a rogue.
Fantastic details.
TFS. : )

Hi Annick,
Super fantastic close-up shot of this graceful giant. You really cant get a better perspective on this particular animal. The overall image has been well executed by the master of his camera. TFS

What an awesome shot! Yes, I can see it's determination and I'm also glad it wasn't a rogue because they are unpredictable. The texture is amazing, but even more amazing is to realize what giants these wonderful creatures are. This really emphasizes his size. He's seems to be plodding along and will step in whatever is in his way, but this is a fine capture - one of my favorites for the elephants.

Hi Annik

The low-down POV and eye contact with this bull make it a fine shot. An excellent result with that big lens/ Great sharpness and details.
