Amazing shot. One of the first things that jumped out at me was how well the background texture complimented the elephant's skin texture. The tones are lovely as well. And he's blowing the dust that way adds to the composition. At first I thought the crop on the right was a tad too tight but it's not a bother anymore.

| What a fantastic capture that works so well in sepia tones!! I love the different textures and the blowing dust. He's magnificent and you brought out his beauty and personality. I bet he feels your love and admiration and responds to it. :) |

| Blimey!! What a fantastic photo, no wonder you love your new lens, the duotone works brilliantly as it captures the feeling of heat and dust. fantastic dof on the skin. I can almost feel the texture and dryness |

This shot is STUNNING, awesome tone mapping and brilliant timing to capture the playful nature of the elephant.
Your focus is also perfect. |

great shot Sandy, I love the toning on this
I went to the zoo today as I was planing on trying out my new 70-200 but it didn't arrive in time but I went anyway and have posted another old soul from our zoo here in Sydney |

oh sandy .. your lens is fantastic ... just seeing these elephant photographs .. excellent .. love this image .. love the way he's standing, sort'v leaning back, love the action feel with the dust he's blowing, love the background contrasting with the texture of his skin, love his tusks contrasting with everything else in the image ... talk about wow ..
BUT ... you have a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM listed as one of your lenses, and i dont see a 70-200 .. ??? please excuse my ignorance ... but i'd like to see the one you have and used for this shot, and check out its specs .. i'm so in the market for another lens !!:):):)x
edit ... i just read the rest of your comment .. and how amazing that the elephant comes right up to you like that .. and of course animals sense where we're coming from .. heaps more than ppl sometimes!!!!:)x
