Nice pose. You got the focus right on the eye. Just a bit less space at the bottom and more space at the top to include the tip of the ear would be nice. Thanks for sharing.

Handling a 7D with 100-400 on a swaying elephant on a rocky surface in a very rough terrain was so daunting :001_smile:

Anandji,
Nice to see this. It is not easy shooting from top of an elephant. Infront of me, a naturalist in bandhavgarh had fallen down from the elephant in chakradhara scaring the adolescent cubs of the tigress and annoying it. The collector had also fallen from the elephant. So I would prefer you to be safe rather than move an inch to the side to avoid a blade of grass or something. Over a period of time one gets a hang of it. However, some elephants don't remain silent in front of a tiger and it adds to the challenge. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
