Trunk in use

Saw this unique use of the trunk, quite interesting.

Comments and Critiques welcome..

Canon 50D, 100-400mm L IS USM, 1/50, f8.0, ISO 400, hand held

Nice tusks and good behaviour documentation. I wish the bamboo in the background near the trunk were absent. Lovely overall. Thanks for sharing.

Good image. The pattern formed by the tusks and the trunk look great.
Was wondering whether you could crop it to include only the head with tusks and trunk...

Wow the tusks look stunning, was this shot in Kabini?

Thanks for the comments.

Abhishek, for including only the head and the trunk I would have have to crop a lot, nearly 50%. So not sure, if that composition would work. Well will try that.

Praveen, this was photographed in Kabini.

Interesting shot Mrudul..

Good timing and framing...

Nice behaviour captured. Capturing head and trunk would have requried around 600mm in 1.6 crop factor 50D camera. It is good that you have used f8 here. The amount of details is nice. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
