Hi Annick,

A very well focused photo of this lovely elephant. It looks quiet sad, however a spot on pic with great meaning feature on eyes.

Bonsoir Annick,
Très bien cadré le portrait de ton éléphant. Tu as vraiment raison de vérifier l'humeur des pachydermes avant de les approcher. Les couleurs sont superbes,tu as profité le mamximun de la lumière ambiante.
J'aime beaucoup aussi l'expression concentrée de l'animal.
Bonne soirée et merci
Anne

Really impressive portrait of this wrinkly Elephant :-)
Excellent detail in the skin and great clarity.
Well composed with an effective close-in crop.
Brilliant DOF.

Very well done!

Hi Annick. When you look at the trunk of the Elephant it looks like the tree bark you posted yesterday. i would think this is as close as you need to be to one in the wild. Excellent detail i nthe trunk and tusk. with natural colours. well done TFS.

That meal looks a bit dry! It must take a lot of them to get enough nourishment to keep an elephant going. I'd think there would be no plants left after a while.

This photo meets my "expectations" of you! You have a great eye for composition and getting just the right crop.

I saw a movie last week called EARTH - and small part of it followed a herd of elephants migrating to the water in Africa. Super film - no humans, all nature and animals. I think it was made by a BBC TV crew.
It opened my eyes to these magnificent beasts and what they go through in their wanderings.
I love your tight crop here Annick. She does look rather placid at the moment. It's a lovely shot - thank you.

Hi Annick,

Very good exposure to show the skin texture and you have also shown the difference between the two tusks which occurs because the elephant uses the one more than the other depending whether they are left or right handed.

Hi Annick.
Thanks for uploading this image after baobab. Stunning skin details and very nice scene at whole. Dry crisp sharp twigs on FG and nice smooth light green BG are create a nice decoration for big animal. I welcome the most impressive framing. Bravo.
