| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French] |
One of the most memorable differences is that the African species are bigger, but there are further differences.
The African elephant has bigger ears. These cover its shoulders, which the Asiatic's do not.
The African elephant's back is concave, while the Asiatic's is convex.
The front of the Asiatic elephant's head has two domes, while the African's head has an even curvature.
At the tip of its trunk the Asiatic elephant has one finger-like structure, while the African has two. |

Bonjour Guy.
J'auais été tenté par une composition verticale. J'ai appris par Callie qu'il faut montrer totalement les éléments importants de nos sujets. Par exemple ici il manque une partie de l'oreille gauche et la quasi totalité de la trompe, ce qui enlève de l'harmonie et de l'impact visuel à l'ensemble de l'image.
Une note intéressante et bilingue.
Merci.

Hello Guy,
Wonderful portrait, I really like the tight crop. Excellent detail and colour and good exposure, you've retained all the detail on the shaded side. A really nice shot.
Regards,
Adrian
This is a great shot !! Very good composition !
