I always love elephant shots. My criteria for success on these beasts is if you can see the eye well. SUCCESS!

Nice detail. The elephant does seem to be enjoying itself.

Interesting photo, Ken. What is the reason he/she is holding the trunk in mouth?

Thanks everybody for your comments, they are much appreciated.
This is probably the best Elephant eye have ever got.
Lon,
The Elephant was drinking, I think?
