Yala-elephant.jpg

This loner came out right at dusk. Note the temporal glands are secreting behind the eye, which indicates this is a male in a state of musth - a state of heighten sexual activity that makes them more aggressive. Taken with EOS 10D, 500mm + 1.4X, ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/125 sec.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

In my opinion this is the best elephant capture out of all the photos you posted in your website. Love the evening light in this. Two thumbs up.
