I can never get enough of seeing elephants, even if they have no tail.
Nice one!

Hi Jagdeep,
I like this shot - simple and effective (and interesting...partly because of that lack of tail). I also like the subtle arch of rocks "framing" the elephant (but that the immediate background behind the elephant is dominated by water). Part of me wants to say I'd like to see this shot from a lower angle, but if that was done the background would change considerably and I suspect a lot of what I like about this shot would be lost.
Thanks for sharing this one - I never tire of seeing quality images of elephants!

I am surprised more people haven't commented on or even looked at this fine image. I think the image "reads" well against the interesting BG. The nice light, the water and the rocks, the pose or body language and the red tip of the trunk make this a really nice image in my opinion. Like Brad I also suspect that a lower angle might well have changed the nature of the shot for the worse. Very nice.

Very impressive shot Jagdeep. The rocks in the image gives quite a impact to the frame.
