An Elephant Bull on the banks of the Chobe River in Botswana. This image was captured from the specialised photographic boat which allowed for this great low angle point of view.

The rich colors, pleasing clouds and wonderful low perspective make this a real keeper. One could wish to have had a little more view of the eye, but certainly not a deal breaker.

Mrio,
Nice colours and pose, did you use the gimbal heads?
I see no real reson for a specialised boat, in the past we have just rented our own, they are equally low in the water!

Mario,

the low angle is the key compositional element of this image, but also the colors and the sky are great.

Muy buena devil

This is wonderful, Mario! I absolutely love the POV. The clouds, the colors, the composition - this image has the whole package. Congats. Very nice!

Mario: the low perspective which places the elephant against a beautiful blue sky make this photo pop. Richard

Nice angle and superb detail, Mario. You were graced with some nice clouds for the bg.
