    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 2 days ago

    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!!
