Hola Annick, espectacular fotografia, con un excelente detalle. Tu galeria es muy interesante, como un viaje muy largo. Enhorabuena , un saludo

Hello Annick
This is a superbly sharp capture..The framing and details are superb..This to me has the look that it could maybe be even better in a black and white?...just an idea.

Wonderful capture of this African elephant. What a beauty.
I have just read your adventures through the Kruger National Park wilderness, Annick. What a dream trip you had - one you'll never forget.
Thank you for sharing
Janice

Hola Annick,
Otra magnífica toma con un encuadre muy acertado e interesante, mostrando los detalles principales de este paquidermo, con nitidez, buena luz y textura. TFS. Saludos

Hi Annick,
A nice captured portrait of this beautiful African elephant. Excellent sharp details and a lovely composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Excellent capture/quality Annick..I like the framing in this closeup.
I'm confused though. You have a link to your "favorite" elephant, but it just goes to your full African portfolio of animals..
Gee wiz, I had my heart set on seeing your fav loxodonta ;}
Have a nice Sunday,
Howard

Hi friend Annick,

TFS.
