i think your photograph is less appriciated, bu it is one of the best and hardest image to capture, because an approaching a male african elephant is an achievement, while capturing a stunning photograph in flash of second is an another achivement , because a charging elephant do not provides enough time to react or photograph him. great work

Bravo Alex ! Poichè la vittoria dipenderà unicamente dai giurati, e non dai voti raggiunti, io credo che questa foto si arrampicherà molto in alto ! Ti ho appena votato e spero in un tuo obiettivo commento sulla mia dei CANI, in top page.

Congratulations!
The dramatic atmosphere is perfectly given by the angle of this shot, the nervous attitude and the unity of colours.

How did you capture this (in awe)? I was once in a safari and charged by an elephant and I know how it feels. Seems like the camera is at a low level and immensely still. Was this on a zoom?

Fantastic photograph.The low angle shoot makes perceptible the supremacy of elephant and very realistic his size.Τhe editing and the sepia colors on the background matches very nicely with the colors on the foreground.It is an almost Perfect shot(I would prefer a little less noise on the blacks on the baground. Excellent work Alex.
