Great action with good focus in face and trunk of the attacking elephant.

The slight feel of motion really adds to this.

Nice action shot with some motion blur. Things happen fast when this starts happening and rarely have control over everything if anything - Nit on the branch right bottom. Great shot

I gave 4 10's in this FS (including yours) and two of them have elephants! LOL! Stunning shot! Love the motion and the playfulness captured!

Lovely shot - too good for the easily fixed fringed background. When images are particularly good I think small flaws stand out a little more.

I really like it though.

Hey Wendy,

Since you mentioned the back story I thought I would pop you a quick note. Outside of Nairobi, on the edge of the Nairobi game park, is a very cool elephant conservation project run by the Sheldrick Foundation. Every morning they allow visitors to come in and give a presentation on elephant conservation. The elephant orphans all come in to a central spot where they are given bottles of milk and leaves to eat. It is amazing because there is only a rope between you and the baby elephants. We had one walk right up to us and we scratched its ears. It is one of the coolest experiences if you are ever coming through Nairobi. :) The man in the picture was giving a lecture on the program. It was a fun morning.
