Elephant@Bandipur!

Shot this lone Elephant at Bandipur 2 weeks ago, this was shot quite early in the morning at 6:30am under low light. We had an extremely dangerous charging by this elephant. Will share more image soon...

Light seems to be pretty low. Else, it would have been good. The elephants in Bandipur have become aggressive and are now charging whenever they see a tourist vehicle. People have provoked them enough. This one seems to be more of juvenile enthusiasm. It is good that you used 100mm focal length to get the full elephant. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I like the pose and the head on angle. You could have gone for ISO 800 and 1/250 shutter speed as you were shooting at 100mm.

Nice pose. The raised foot shows movement. The composition is nice. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.
