Hello My Dear Friend Annick!

Perfect capture of this lovely African Elephant which has typically bigger earlap than that of Asiatic elephant! Indeed I love their large earlaps (may be I said before:). Your shot is excellent as usual my friend! TFS.
Cheers,
Bayram

Classic profile shot of an elephant! Intricate detail - and the sand around the trunk adds just to the overall quality.
Excellent work! Cheers, Klaus

A fine Loxodonta specimen captured in a textbook posture within its natural surroundings Annick, the texture and rich colour of its thick hide is reproduced perfectly here, thank you indeed for sharing this fine specimen with us sir!

HI Annick,
A classic profile shot of African Elephant. The light in soft to the right extent to give a soothing effect at the same time retaining the texture of the skin. Another beauty from your treasure trove :) TFS

What is it splashing? If it is water, where is it coming from?

Regards
Smitha

I find this shot somewhat amusing. "Ellie" looks so nonchalant-.. almost sleepy... then she just spits at you! The fact that we don't see the source of the water makes it even more effective. I love a photo with a story.
