    Have come back from recent trip to Namibia, this image of an etosha bull having a dust bath.

    would have liked a bit more room in front, will consider adding canvas...wanted to rotate but not enough space ...

    The famous White Elephant of Etosha;)

    It is not often that you have too much lens. The Elephant looks fairly upright to me.

    I like his placement between the stumps and the stark contrast with the blue sky. I agree that more room under the feet would have been good.

    What a magnificent elephant and you have captured the dust colour very well. Agree for more room at the bottom.

    Peter - Love the dust and it's interesting how light in color the elephant is. I too think that the 2 tree stumps add to the picture.

    Issues addressed earlier, but the actual 'graphic' of this image is quite striking Peter. Very pleased you posted this one Peter.
