January 23rd, 2009 at 7:13 amWow! I’d love to know how close you are. What is the focal length you are using. Are you atop another elephant (….as on a safari). The focus is so perfect that one can even see the dermal hair!!
A very original shot. -

January 23rd, 2009 at 3:47 pmFunny, I’ve seen plenty of pictures of elephants, but I don’t think I have ever really given apt consideration to the foot — with elephant “toe-nails”! Thank you

Seriously, it’s an excellent photo, both creatively and technically.
