Tusker

This bull elephant was happily munching the grass by the side of the road in Nagarhole reserve in India. He did not seem too concerned about the safari truck about 20 feet from him, (I have a video of him as well). It was a rather wet and gloomy monsoon evening so the light was quite flat.

I got so disgusted about unusable low-light shots on this trip that I bought myself a DSLR as soon as I got back to the US.

It is a nice image of a Asian elephant with nice tusks. Thanks for sharing.

Your exposure looks just right. I would like to see enough space around him so the trunk and backside did not touch the edges of the the frame.
