The light on the water is beautiful and what an amazing experience to see this. Your composition is excellent with the elephant well placed. I wish your positioning of the camera had been lower so the land line didn't run through the animal's head. Also wish he were more side on so his shape were more distinctive, but I'm guessing he wouldn't have taken artistic direction too well :)

    thanks; no time I prefered to stay in the car and rush away, rather than going out and lower

Would not have to tell me twice. Were you in a boat or on shore. The sepia tones along with the sunset is stunning. The light gleaming along the surface pops the backlighting of the charging elephant. Nice capture.

Oh well at first I was kind of bummed that I couldn't see more details in the Elephant but the more I look at it the more I like the way you did this one it has a very almost menacing feel to it especially with the title which makes me like it more and more amazing capture thanks for sharing.

Fred,
A great picture of the charging bull Elephant ears flapping like the outline of Africa the sunbeam across the water lighting his path as he charges towards you. Beautiful composition of really wild Africa, beautiful framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from PeglegDeb


Am very surprised by people NOT realizing this is an elephant sg....lol...not to worry. Cannot imagine anything else that would have made this silhouette.

Thought you had 'sepia-d' this at first but realize it's just the way the light is. It's wonderful on the water and you caught a most interesting shot considering this HUGE guy was so unhappy you'd interrupted his bath.

Don't like having my bath interrupted either actually LOL

Comment from VINCEFALLERT


I gave you 4 stars instead of 3 because of the golden glow of the water and the sun's reflection. As for the elephant, I didn't know it was a elephant until I read your story. Looks like a rock formation in the water. Sorry it didn't do it for me this time.

A very interesting shot. At first it was not apparent that this was an elephant. The light on the water is nice and the composition is excellent.
