Even if the rainy season makes it difficult for finding some animals, Elephants are the exception, they are also extremely happy to have plenty of nice soft grass,

Solid exposure and very nice detail. Maybe darken the rocks just to the left of the trunk to keep those lighter tones from tugging at the eye.

Great looking elephant n beautiful frame!
The rock right behind the tusk is bit unfortunate.

Nicely done Ken. The quality that lens is capable of is evident in the detail and natural colours in this photo. Quite the clump of grass disappearing into the mouth, roots and all.
