Annick, Excellent. The lower point of view seem to enhance the size of the head and the ears.

Hello Annick
This is a fine capture that is beyond reproach in composition sharpness etc.
A question for you though Annick.
When Taking the picture did you have the 400mm tilted to a portrait type capture or did you take it landscape style and then crop off the edges later?
Very Good Notes and I always love to see the shooting info.
Best Regards
Paul

Those flared ears would make me a tad nervous. They make for a great shot though. How far away were you?
Wonderful sharpness.

Interesting notes Annick, thank you.
This is a great shot of the Proboscidea - he is standing there so bossily, but I am pleased to see a handful of grass in his trunk. It must have made you feel a bit safer knowing he was happy with the grass and not unhappy with you.
Cheers

Great shot. The low pov makes this majestic animal tower over the photographer. Good light and sharply focussed.

Indrukwekkende foto vanuit een goed laag standpunt. Schitterende natuurlijke kleuren en de scherpte is als altijd perfect. Mooi in zijn natuurlijke omgeving.
Goed weekend,

Hi Annick,
Since I have been in field study, I couldnt visit your last shots. But now I find great shots from Africa of yours. Firstly congratulations on your 700th. This 701th shot also perfect. Loxodonta africana , one of most characteristic animals of Africa, perfectly captured, when its feeding time. Thanks for sharing, best wishes friend
