When we first visited Selous in 2004 Elephants were everywhere, now as a result of intensive poaching they are not. We saw very few.
This is one of the lucky ones!

I like the detail in the elephants skin as well as the head swinging pose. Maybe darken the bottom just a bit. Unfortunate story it tells. TFS.

Very sad to hear that, hope these beautiful creatures thrive back in their domain again... Nice frame, but maybe one thing I felt it that I would like to crop it a little be to see him more closer.

With regards,
