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

Compare to this my images are very uninteresting. I love how the elephant is on one side.

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.

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!

the flowers and elephant work well. I don't find the overall yellow cast appealing.

Wonderful catch!
A bit too much yellow tint for my taste ;)

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! :-)

The background looks almost like an etching or a painting. Very lovely. The yellow juxtaposes nicely with the grey of the elephant.

é um camião da savana daqueles bem grandes, e estava tudo em flor o que ajudou à composição, bom trabalho.

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.

Só mesmo aqui se poderia encontrar um elefante no meio de um campo de flores amarelas. ;)
Linda! Linda! Linda! Linda! Linda!
