Snack time
I have not been able to get out the last few weekends, not for photography anyway. However, I came across this one today and thought I would share it with you. It was taken last year in Zambia, and has hardly been looked at since. I liked the way the elephant is focused on the branch, bottom right, that was just about to become her next mouthful.

Excellent composition highliting the singlemindedness of purpose shown by the gaze in the elephant's eye.

Always nice to see these 'big old units' and he does look like he is on a mission. however, I think there is a bit more detail you can still get out of the image.
