Hello Annick,

Your photo shows this elefant in great sharpness. I like very much how you have rendered the texture of the skin as well as all details of the animal. There is also a very fine light in your image showin such a reachness of color tones.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

A wonderful capture of this impressive creature Annick.
Excellent detail once again.
I guess you can't get anything other than a good low POV with these huge animas, unless you're up in a tree or on a cliff.
It certainly emphaises their giganticness though.
Very nice work!
Cheers

I'm afraid I've missed lots of your great shots,but I've added you to my alerts now so I won't in future (I thought I had already, silly me :)

Hi Annick

Another splendid elephant shot from you, my friend!
Again terrific details and textures here as well as nice natural colors.
As always, again a lesson in how to exploit a good shallow DOF - which here isolated this huge animal so well from its surroundings. About how far from it were you really?
Anyway, another beauty to watch!

Bravo and TFS

Annick, the low point of view seems to make the elephant more imposing. Great picture.

Hello Annick,
What an honor it must be to see these great creatures in their own environment. You image captures wonderfully the power and majesty this great one possesses. Outstanding quality image my friend showing the texture and color of his skin prefectly. After did you clean the corner of his eye for him?
