It must be wonderful to have an appendage as useful as a trunk. Here, this male is just starting a romp in the tank. Nikon D750 and 24-120 lens at 1/500, f/8 and ISO 900. Richard

Wow, he's really spraying a lot of water. Good catch of him doing this. It appears that he is looking right at you, and you did this with a 24-120 lens? Yeesh. Nice one.

Lots of good things in this wonderful frame, sweet light; water spray, water ripples and the raised foot adds a sense of mystery.

Wonderful quality of light and active pose make a fine capture. Only wish (beyond photographer control) would have been to have that trunk and spray swinging the other way to be against the water.

I love the swinging action here Richard, sweet capture but I think it would be more impressive with the elephant more in the middle of the frame, it feels like too much empty space on the left imo.
