Photographer’s Note

We were fortunate to roll up to a group of a dozen elephants as they were getting ready to head to their watering hole at Ado Elephant Natl Park.

Great shot. Very original for an elephant shot. Great color and simple composition also.

Cute shot. So many different shades of green in the distance vegetation.

I love it!! You couldn't get a better shot if it had been staged.

A great capture, Peter. Very original.
I like the swinging tail of the large male (I'm assuming).

Hi Peter,

Very nice one! Like the curve in the road ahead, like we already know that the elephants will walk out of the picture at some point. Great animals, nicely captured.

Greetings! Dennis

Hello Peter!
Elephants love to be together, in groups!
A beautiful picture, very charming, lovely colors and good sharpness.

Hi Peter,
A nice shot from "behind" as these lovely animals wa;ked towards thier waterhole. Probabaly a good thing that you were not in the way! Although we don't see their faces and tusks, it has a "cute" look to the image....and it's as if you are not intruding into their habitat. Well captured.
Cheers Grant

Hi Peter, great family shot of these elephants. Having them on the road like this almost gives them some kind of personality. The lush green and blue sky make a great backdrop for this scene. Great light and colour throughout.

Thanks, John

Hi Peter

When you see some photos, you could listen to the music behind the photos. This is one such photo where I could listen to "Baby Elephant Walk". Great.
With regards
Bala

Super photo! Love the composition. I think the horizon needs to be straightened ever so slightly. Otherwise excellent job!
