Big mas Big, sabes que é o único animal que não salta devido ao seu grande peso? Está magnifica.

Wow, what a great place you must be at to get such wonderful shots. I love the colors in this photo!
17 Oct 2007 9:14am
Compare to this my images are very uninteresting. I love how the elephant is on one side.
17 Oct 2007 9:26am
This is so beautiful. Beside the main subject that is composed very well, the backgruond, a combination of yeloow flowers and blue sky is awesome. Great shot.
17 Oct 2007 9:39am
oooooo he is so huge and cute too ! I liked composition .. blue green colored horizon in background .. with some elephants .. yellow delicate flowers and a rock hard but soft hearted elephant in fore ground .. its so comparitive .. elephant is so huge and flowers are so small , though they are creation of on almighty .. huge to small .. :)
17 Oct 2007 10:02am
Wow,superb shot !
17 Oct 2007 10:18am
Just one word: outstanding!
17 Oct 2007 11:18am
Excellent again, Paolo! Colours, view, sharpness- perfect!
17 Oct 2007 11:25am
Wonderful image Paulo great work.
17 Oct 2007 11:36am
Not only a perfect shot of an elephant, but also the composition and colors are perfect. All the flowers are like one single element, the background has just the right amount of blurr, makes it like a minimalist photo. Paulo The Master did it again, bravo!
17 Oct 2007 12:45pm
Magnificent Paulo! :)
17 Oct 2007 2:31pm
Wonderful dreamy capture!
17 Oct 2007 3:43pm

17 Oct 2007 4:07pm
400mm No wonder! I was getting worried about you when I renact the scenario of you taking a photo of that elephant. Anyway, TANZANIA, WOW!
17 Oct 2007 4:59pm
Wow! This is an absolutely stunning image, Paulo! A fantastic capture -- and what presence it has! Great postprocessing, too.
17 Oct 2007 5:16pm
WOW!!!! Paulo, you have done it again!!! This one is absolutely fanta-bulous!! Love it, love it, love it!! :)
17 Oct 2007 6:25pm
Somente UUUUUUUAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUU
17 Oct 2007 7:32pm
I am in awe. Standing ovation!!
17 Oct 2007 8:10pm
the flowers and elephant work well. I don't find the overall yellow cast appealing.
17 Oct 2007 11:45pm
Wonderful catch! A bit too much yellow tint for my taste ;)
18 Oct 2007 2:34am
The yellow flowers in the field are just lovely, not to mention the awesome capture of this elephant! Your blog is truly one of the best collections of animal and bird photos I have ever seen! Bravo Paulo.
When you have some spare time (I know we all say we don't have any of that) please would you check out the aminus3 Members photo forum - you could give us some tips or just discuss your photos! I put a link to your blog up on the forum when you only had a few photos on it. I was so impressed - I had to do that! :-)
18 Oct 2007 4:29am
wooow very nice and select the best view good idea
18 Oct 2007 8:12am
Fantastic composition...! well done! I love this subject but the colors for me are most saturated..
18 Oct 2007 12:35pm
Absolutely wonderful shot!
18 Oct 2007 3:41pm
The background looks almost like an etching or a painting. Very lovely. The yellow juxtaposes nicely with the grey of the elephant.
18 Oct 2007 5:56pm
Wow, this is a great photo. The colors are gorgeous.
19 Oct 2007 12:38am
un amateur de fleurs cet elephant
19 Oct 2007 1:32am
cool ! so exciting i can feel the nature
19 Oct 2007 9:45am
é um camião da savana daqueles bem grandes, e estava tudo em flor o que ajudou à composição, bom trabalho.
19 Oct 2007 3:05pm
Love your setting of the solitary elephant against the field of golden flowers. I even 'see' a small herd of elephants in the background cloud formation.
19 Oct 2007 9:52pm
Só mesmo aqui se poderia encontrar um elefante no meio de um campo de flores amarelas. ;) Linda! Linda! Linda! Linda! Linda!
20 Oct 2007 1:20pm
I have one word for this shot-Perfection! Brilliant colors and I love the DOF. Great job, Paulo!
22 Oct 2007 5:30pm
This can't be real! This is gorgeous!
27 Oct 2007 1:31pm
Big é pouco. Huge is more like it. Gorgeous! E a composição n podia ser melhor, florzinhas amarelas... Parabens!
30 Oct 2007 5:22pm
This is lovely and unusual. The yellow foliage is a wonderful contrast to the elephant.
