Playing Twister
Captured this young elephant bull at a waterhole in early morning light in the Addo Elephant National Park. He was busy scuffling with another young male and this pose made me smile.
Techs:
Canon 7D with 100-400mm L IS USM @ 235mm
f7.1 @ 1/500 SS @ ISO-800
PS: we don't really play "Twister" in South Africa, but we get a good enough dose of American TV to know what it is :w
Like the title Morkel, fits nicely with the image.
Personally I think 'Elephant only' could stand another round of USM and a hint more around the subject?
So what do you play instead?we don't really play "Twister" in South Africa

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
Great comp and colour in very nice early light Morkel.
Just don't mention Twister to the folks living in the US mid western states. It get's played a lot down that way in summer I hear. :whOriginally Posted by Morkel Erasmus

Very nice light Morkel.
I am not sure I would play Twister with this one !

Beautiful lighting on this elephant and the funny pose is great. Always enjoy the youngsters.
Love the head tilt/slight downward look here as well as the flared out ears. Are you sure he didn't just have to go to the bathroom and was just holding it in until you put down your camera?
Always nice to see Elephants in "silly" poses
thanks for the comments everyone
@ Steve - this was a crop from horizontal so I have more space, will see if I can do a rework sometime
Morkel - nice light and pose. I too like the head tilt. It looks like one tusk is longer than the other but it may just be the angle.

Well done Morkel. Like the pose he is giving you an dthe title fits well. Exposure and colors look good.
