I love the unique perspective which gives the viewer an idea of the truly immense size and power of the beast. Very nice POTD!

Wow! 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.
Mandy Kilpatrick
Black and White is perfect for this shot. I like the detail shown. I don’t beleive I have ever seen an elephants toenail before – they are massive – interesting. Congratulations!

Thanks for this picture! It’s a good reminder that, powerful as they are, humans can hunt them into extintion.

Funny, 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

The elephant deserves some wrinkle cream and a pedicure! LOL
Seriously, it’s an excellent photo, both creatively and technically.
