Taken in Gonarazhou NP, Zimbabwe 9th June 2009

EOS 1D MkII n

28-300 at 90mm

F7.1, ISO 800, 1/3200

I've left the ellie a little brown

I think this one gives a better indication of the overcast sky.

it gives a better indication of the size of this one's tusks!
colours look good here Ken

Hi Ken I like the implied speed, raised tail and foot Color and contrast are just fine No changes for me !!!

Must have been a wonderful experience. If possible, would have experimented with a few wider compositions. A narrow aperture would have been nice. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Fabulous male and setting Ken.

Thanks for your comments, I did not have a lot of time, and it was the only Elephant we saw that was quite near and not hidden in the undergrowth. As I said on my other post, everybody should go to the Chilo Gorge at least once it is remarkably spectacular.
