A very nice shot and a great entry to this contest. I like the way all the people join in on giving him a bath. He sure seems to be enjoying it. Best wishes in the voting.

This is a super clear photograph of a group of people bathing their elepha t. The detail ylu have caugjt is both lear and interesting. The surroundings add to the story of where it is. Good focus, use if light and positioning.

This is so interesting to see people washing an elephant who looks completely comfortable with it, especially since this is not a sight I would see in my part of the world. The elephant looks like he is enjoying his bath.

A beautiful & interesting picture of these Elephant keepers busy bathing the Elephant lying on it's on side the River. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Comment from Renate-Bertodi


What a fantastic shot! We see a lot of African elephants on the tv but usually tigers, if we are talking of India. This is such a lovely shot, though worrying that the elephant is so trusting. Me, I wouldn't trust a bunch of humans when they get together, well certainly not in the West. The English are just Germans who couldn't hack it over there, just the same, and France is half Germans who were taken for reparation by Charles the Great during the 30 yrs religious wars, and really don't know which they are! East, possibly. But really interesting photo.

A very good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition allows us a good look at the scene. Was the elephant ill or injured in some way that it allowed so many people near it? Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Humongous subject surrounded by humans giving perspective as to its size...
Diminishing perspective gives a better depth....
Fantabulous journalistic shot!

I like the inclusion of water and shoreline flora.

Subdued illumination.
Pin sharp focusing.
Nce square format framing.

Good perspective & long depth of field...
Thanks for sharing...

It sure takes a few people to bath this jumbo creature. I presume he is alive? He must be tame to allow this?
Nice clear and focused image. An interesting subject for this contest. All the best!

    Of course he is alive and enjoying the bath in the sun.:) This place is an elephant training centre. Thanks very much for your time and nice review. I appreciate it!
