Awesome shot, Les. I was just poping in and missed seeing your shots so thought I'd catch up. Someday I want to shoot elephants with you. :)
Oh Lesley! Dang. This makes me want to cry! I think part of it is because I love elephants SO MUCH. . . and I feel so sad for the elephant in our zoo (or ANY elephant in any zoo) because they can't get out and play together like this! A couple of weeks ago my favorite elephant just died. They don't know why, but now they are fearing the other one is grieving himself to death :( I think he died of a broken heart because he can't get out and play like these elephants can!
this is an awesome photo but the post processing doesnt really do it for me, it seems a bit sloppy with the masking or dodging. which ever of the two you used. i would love to see other edits of this photo
very nice. interesting processing. they look like they are coming out of the photo. i like it. i'm curious about what that is in the water to the left of the elephant on his back legs.
