I think this is a strong capture for the sense of moving tension exhibited with each elephant,extending and curling trunks, and the one with head thrown back. I like the reflections of rows of legs, too.

Another great action shot here Ken. I like the close, almost crowded feeling of the elephants with all the open space around them. Nice look at the dry surroundings of the watering hole too that gives a sense of place.

Excellent to catch all 5 in good poses with eyes and trunks.
Beautiful soft light.
Congrats on the WP!
