Ken,
Super image! I especially like how the elephants posture emulates the curve in the tree.

Wonderful image; made me smile! I guess it is not often you get them trying to hide behind a tree like that!

Hi Ken,
I like your image and like the light, detail and the POV.
This ellie is really wamting to get to those seed pods in the tree and is doing extremely well at it.
It would be nice to get some seperation between the background and the subject, but in this case it is difficult.
Well done and thak you for sharing.

Very nice Ken, I like the way the line of the ellies body works with the line of the tree..Amazing sighting.

Morkel,
Zimbabwe was as usual truly spectacular, true wildlife in wild places and you can get out and walk!
Dan & Dumay,

Came back to this one Ken.
This looks to be on the riverfront?? We found them in the river mostly in the middle...and in the forests. The seeds weren't out so the "standing" ellies were breaking off huge branches from the Ana trees and feeding from them on the ground.
We only saw that big old bull doing this, and he had 2 younger cohorts who seemed to be "learning the ropes" but couldn't pull it off yet.
I can't wait to return, but want to combine it with Hwange and/or Matusadona and/or Gorongosa!! I've heard Matusadona isn't that great if you camp? I know you stay at Rhino Island?
