I'm not entirely sure if you are kidding or serious that these guys were super friendly like a litter of puppies coming to greet you? A situation where it helps if one has some familiarity with the species to know whether to pick up the camera or duck and hide. Your photo has an immediacy about it and a great sense of action. Good dof for f4.5 and ncie exposure. :toast: :toast:

I am surprised this has not drawn more commentary. I love the leaning action of the lead elephant and the streaming dust!

I love this image Jagdeep. Lots of action and sharp! What's with the bad attitude of these Ele's? their African brethren seam downright cuddly by comparison.
