Kissing Jumbos Photo

Photographer’s Note

Pinnawala elephant camp is one of the largest camps in Asia. It's an elephant orphanage. Hundreds of elephants are protected there and they feed food and in the afternoon they are left to the river, where they socialize with their mates. Some of them will also do some romance. Elephants love water.

In this pic you can see how two jumbos are romancing :). I loved to see this. Elephants are supposed to be very emotional and sensitive animals

Hello Karthik,
Nice capture of the good moment of the emotional and sensitive elephants! I like also natural sharpness and very appropriate composition a lot.

Hola Karthik .. .. .. .:

Affectionate picture of the pachyderms, it is an image that he speaks for if alone, he does not need explanation .... only to enjoy seeing the love between the Jumbos.

Un saludo amigo y gracias.

Hi Karthik,
Curious photo, not only for the funny situation, buut also for the visual arrangement rendered by the tight crop and those heads and noses.
Regards,
José

Nice one Karthik...in fact it's the BG of the water which also adds to the picture. Well framed with the two giants covering almost the entire frame!

Karthik,

This is a well-timed & composed photo. It looks like one is about the bite the other... Ha!

The detail and contrast are well preserved.

TFS,
