Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A beautiful picture of two Elephants standing in the water with their Mahouts about to bathe them while other people are watching. The sky's reflected on the ripples on the water's glistening surface along with the trees in the background around the water hole. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

Artist's notes is pretty informative. This image was well-taken showing the elephant rider and its passengers. The setting is pretty refreshing. I like the natural colors of the river and the green trees at the background. Well-framed. Wish you luck in this contest.

This is a fine entry for the contest also. The distant foliage is pretty. The water adds to the scene and of course the people at work and watching. Best wishes in the contest. The elephants are nice also.

Great photo. Learning about the mahout. This animal looks like it is trying to stay cool and see some of the tourists. What a great photo, thank you for sharing

An interesting photograph and narrative. A lovely photograph of the elephant with his trainer; and the members of the public listening in to what goes into training these wonderful animals. Good luck in the contest.
