Great capture! and now im afraid of elephants.

 

i hope you continued shooting and got the "action" of the elephant pushing the Tata or rocking it or something. Great scene.

Funny series of pictures! I really enjoyed it :-)

Oh Come On...Guys!!!!!

He is not attacking any body! Can't you see the poor guy is just hungry and have a rush for a peanut-butter sandwich? Look at his face, he would not kill a fly.

This series of pictures clearly reveal that the elephant was looking for food inside the truck.

The picture is very good. All those people in the background looking at the elephant is what complement the picture and gives it a story and character. I happent to like it a lot for what it teach us and tell us about "us" the human species.

From the photographer standpoint, I would have walked right next to the elephant to get a much "intimate" angle and approach, preferably with a wide angle lens, which also would have shown better the people in the background and the items that the elephant was getting out of the truck. Maybe he was too busy to bother having you to get closer to get a picture, in fact, elephants will give you warnings when they feel that you are getting too close to their "zone of tolerance" and you better back off (keep in mind that I am not suggesting that you try this next time but it would be something "I" would see me doing....but again, I suffer from chemical imbalance, at least that is what my guide in my last trip to Africa told me after I was chased by a black rhino mother after I tried to get too close, by foot, while trying to get a picture....he, he. )

 

...by the way, the Rhino picture was all worth it...or was it?

 

The bottom line....this picture speaks volumes. It tells a wonderfull story between the neverending struggle of animals and human interaction when their habitas cross each other. Unfortunately, they are the ones that ultimately loose, mostly because their behaviour is so misunderstood.

...well, enough of all this yada, yada, yada.

 

Ragards,
