[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
When we arrived at the serengeti np we saw exactly after 4 minutes a group of elefants.
At the ngorongoro crater we also saw elefants but just bulls alone.
The bulls just come alone in the crater to eat or drink something.IT´s too dangerous to take the whole family with because the way into the crater is very steep and rocky.
This elefant is not so tall maybe small to medium size.
He went with another elefant to this water place to drink and have fun infront of my camera great moment of our safari.
Hope you like
Toba

Hello Tobias,

Fabulous definition, colors and composition. If you had not mentioned it, I would have assumed it was a full size bull elephant. So you took the photo of the African elephant in the Serengeti, and just a month ago. It's a very impressive photograph. Congratulations and warm regards.

Hi Toba!
Ein cooles Bild von dem Elefanten. Er ist super platziert auf deinem Bild und die Perspektive gefällt mir auch echt gut. Schöner Kontrast und gute Belichtung (war hier wohl nicht leicht, so viel dunkel und hell), die Schärfe ist auch gut.
Vielleicht hätte ich Richtung oben rechts noch mehr Platz gelassen , aber sonst ein echt super Bild!
Der einfach kleine Rahmen passt gut dazu und "stealt dem Motiv nicht die Show" ;-)
Echt gut!!!
Grüße,
Jonas

Hi Tobias,

A beautiful photograph on this animal emblematic of African savanna. Good quality of the image, I like much clearness on the body of the elephant. It seems young I think. Thank you Tobias.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

Hello!
Great shot of elephant in natural environment.
Excellent lighting and colors.
Greetings
Tadeusz

Hello Tobias,
They are lovely animals, in spite of the touch of prehistoric looks!
They seem friendly since they don't have many natural enemies because of the pure size, this is probably a young fellow...
Super details in the animal, well framed!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Er wirkt leicht verspielt und das hast Du gut eigefangen. Man glaubt er lacht und möchte den Fotografen mit einer Dusche begrüßen. Schöne Aufnahme
Viele Grüße,
Achim

He does look quite young and is enjoying the water. You have framed it perfectly with the space on the right for him to look into. Excellent detail captured in his wrinkled skin. Well done

Une prise de vue qui nme fait plaisir.
Bien à toi.

Bonjour Tobias

Olá / hi Tobias,

Thanks for the visit to my gallery.But,in Portugal the language is Portuguese not Spanish, but I understand Spaniard.You can always use yahoo translate Portuguese.German is very difficult for the Portuguese, but the English is easy.
To go to the Tanzânia is a dream for me, but difficult, because is a trip of many (€).
A very good capture of this handsome beast despite his missing tusk.Makes a nice foil for the elephant in this well balanced composition. Good natural clarity and very good clarity that enables us to see clearly the folds in the skin.

Um abraço (PT)
