Hi Thorsten,
I just found out your elephant shower shots. They are very nice. The thrown water of that man is faboulous, making it a very good decisive moment and giving dinamism effect to the scene. Good lighting as well. Great captured!
Thank you for sharing,
Regards,
Ricardo

Hi Thorsten,

Perfect timing! Superb photo. The elephant enjoying the bath but also the water being thrown to them really gives life to your picture.

Well done

Tony

Hi Thorsten, A nice action shot with those faithful looking elephants. Good capture of the water spread and the enjoyment expression of the front elephant. A very well taken picture with sharpness and clarity. Well done.

It's all been said: dynamic, happy, sharp!

Great picture!

Regarding composition, I might have cropped out the right making a square arount the elephants & the man splashing the water.

the other man only distracts my eye! ;)
