It was a beautiful day in Ohio, so my wife and I went up to the Cleveland Zoo for the day. Captured many pictures and looking through all of them, found this shot to be the best fill the frame shot. Learned a lot about elephants when I was there. Take some of these interesting facts.
-Elephants cry, play, have incredible memories, and laugh!
-Elephants are sensitive fellow animals where if a baby complains, the entire family will rumble and go over to touch and caress it.
-Elephants have greeting ceremonies when a friend that has been away for some time returns to the group.
-Elephants grieve at a loss of a stillborn baby, a family member, and in many cases other elephants.
Thought those were pretty neat about them. I hope most like the shot. I thik a lot will think I over edited this, but I really like how the wrinkles were brought out. Any suggestions welcomed.
