Artist's Comments

This elephant was after a hay filled cube hanging over his head. He had the funniest expression on his face.

Taken at the San Diego Zoo's new "Elephant Odessy" exhibit.

Sticking tongue out at Steve. Because I could. Is that all you have to say?

(Yes, the description did originally say "Shot at the zoo".) :)

I think I may have enhanced the wrinkles too much. He was sure having fun with that hay, though.

Just looking at this elephant makes me laugh :lol:

This is an unusual framing here, what with you cutting the tips of his ears, tusks, trump and chin (in other words, a closer cropping). I'm not sure if I like it.

The hay falling all over him is priceless.

I was definitely going for the laugh. I may move this to scraps, though as I think it's artistic value is questionable. What do you think?
The cropping was somewhat unavoidable as I was shooting through a cable fence. My camera lense just fit between.
