__________________________

This must be one of the most common angles which people use to photograph an elephant bull. No doubt it makes for a very impressive full frame portrait but the goal is to make your images stand out and after while the same image again and again become… well… boring.  This old boy must have had a helluva time splashing all sorts of different muds onto his body which left him looking like an artists canvas gone wrong.  The colors and textures worked perfectly together as the late afternoon sun lit up our colorful elephant.  Minimal processing on this one.  Everything just seemed right.

Until next time.
