Elephant Portrait

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Let me know which version you like.

This image was created in Nagarhole in the kabini side.

Canon EOS 1D Mark II, ISO 200, Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM, EF 2xII ie. at 800mm focal length, f6.3, 1/25th of second.

Cheers,

I cropped the tree on the left from the same image.

Let me know what you feel.

I prefer the first image since the tree gives a sort of border to the image, whereas the second has a tree falling out of the image. I love the motion of the trunk, the elephant's trunk, that is.

Agree with Apana, prefer the first post better. If the other tree was not present, then the second post would have looked good. Nice skin details visible.

I too like the first image. The eye looks good. The motion of the trunk is nice too...
