So hot! Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

It's a small river near The Elefant Farm by the road to Kandy. I think it was up to 30 degrees C.

Excellent moment captured and an unusual shot at least for me. I like all the shades of grey and brown, and the trunk sticking out of the water.

Just a little blown out on exposure, but a humorous photo. Don't normally see elephants in that position.

The position of the elephant is very funny. I especially like his nose coming out of the water! It's a pity that the animal wears a chain around his body. In combination with the guy carrying a spear, it gives us the feeling that this elephant is kept in captivity against its will (even if that isn't the case in reality).

What a great picture this is. Very well cropped. What a good contrast between elefant and water.

Good "daily life" shot. I can feel that hotness. And look at that elefant ! - really
enjoining of this moment. Very nice colors too.
Little bit tight cropped in my mind, but I guess, your`s is right choice.

at first sight i thought the animal is being tortured, a pose that suggest both, pleasure or pain. i don't know why, it just saddens me to see the photo. thanks for sharing.
