Just for a change from my Fair Isle photos...there'll be more of those soon...

I took this in March in Mole National Park, while doing a walking safari. What do you think?

Hi Adam,

It's a very different kind of portrait! but I like it!

Thanks, glad you like it! I was aiming for something a bit different

Now, that is indeed a different viewpoint...I like it a lot.

Yes very refreshing to see a different viewpoint. The elephant's eyes seem to have a world weary look about them, IMHO. Very nice.

I like that too. The light really brings up the detail in the skin.

To be honest Adam I'm not as fond of the viewpoint as the others. How ever many times I come back to it I just cannot find it satisfying to my eye. However, as mentioned before, I do like the detail in the skin texture.
