Wish you had the full elephant in the frame. It is not easy to change focal lengths and get the entire action as it is not easy to face a giant charging towards you. A vertical would have been great.

Were you in your own car or in a hired gypsy?

Cheers,

Yes Patra Sir I also wished the same and you are correct it is very difficult to change the focal lengths while an elephant is charging upon you I was in the hired gypsy sir..

Nice action captured. The dust flying looks nice. Agree about the space at the bottom. It is good you used an high ISO to capture this. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely action captured. Its good that you managed to get an image of the charging elephant. Most time people get petrified seeing an elephant charge and have every reason to do so :) The dust gives a halo effect which enhances the image.Seems the elephant had dipped its trunk in mud or water as it seems partially wet. Thanks for sharing.
