Excellent image, Sandy. The flying dust adds a lot to the image and I think the B&W treatment works very well here.

Sandy: excellent capture of the moment with the dust flying vertically as well as horizontally. BW brings out the texture in the elephants' skin and the lighter colored dusting. Richard

Talk about "blowing smoke". The big puff of dust is a fine catch here, Sandy. The elephant sure looks muddy. That has me wondering if the mud would show better in the color version.
