Ele generational procession.

[Marc Mol]

Leading the procession we have the bull, then an adult female and her older daughter and bringing up the rear is her young mischievous son complete with trunk in the air!
This gives a good indication as to the size of a mature bull to a mature female, a massive difference!

It took over an hour and a lot of patience to capture all four progressively sized with clear separation and to a wonderful early evening sky, what a joy to witness!

Loisaba- Northern Kenya.

Nikon D5 Nikkor 80-400 AF-S 1/1000s f/5.6 ISO180@ 116mm. F/F, Bean bag from front pax seat, selectively reduced exp on the eles, curves, levels, TK adj's in ACR & PS CC '15.

Cheers

Hi Marc. This is lovely. Love the sky, the silhouette and the clear separation of the herd from one another. The icing on the cake is the open mouth of the front one and raised trunk of the little ele at the back! TFS.

[Kalin Botev]

Wow Marc, what an image! Even in a painting the artist could have not succeeded to place them better. The trunk of the little guy is a great touch! It shows childhood even better than its size does.
Thanks for sharing,
Kalin

Love this, Marc - the poses could not have been better.
Might dodge the whites in the clouds a tad as it looks a bit underexposed in the sky?

[Rachel Hollander]

Hi Marc - Definitely worth the wait. Great separation and the little one just takes this up to another level. Well done.

TFS,
Rachel
