One of the few 'Big Tuskers' left, around 35-40 years of age and still going strong, (not quite as big as the main guy who was around 55 years of age and rest his trunk on the right tusk), but great to have the opportunity to encounter these animals. Would have preferred a tad more DoF.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.

. I like the idea of a varied BKG, gives distance too, think a uniformed backdrop would be too sterile and boring, but hey, hard to tell an elephant to stand on the X spot, unless you have some secret tips from work?

.... but you preferred the varied BG , will remember that
