  • Mountainimage

    Wonderful image and what you would expect in National Geographic frankly. Only thing is that if you keep getting this closer your last shot may be of him stompping you to death. Be careful.

  • Macky replied

    LOL!!, First you get me bumping my head on the ceiling re NGeographic and then you bring me crashing down to earth with the reality of being stomped to death by an elephant, think I’ll rather try nude photography, sounds safer. LOL!!

    Jokes aside, thanks for the compliment, much appreciated!!

  • Shelagh Linton

    Shelagh Linton

    Terrific shot and he is so huge. I really like the eye contact with you, however, I don’t think I would want to be in his path. Great job.
