Species: African Elephant | Location: Okavango Delta, Botswana
This photograph was taken on the Secluded Botswana expedition. We came upon a small group of elephants, enjoying a delicious snack of water lilies. With an "anthropomorphizing lens", it looks as if this elephant is offering us a flower. I love how dexterous the elephant's trunk is, and how she can hold such a delicate plant so gently.
About The Photographer
When I was a teenager, my first camera was analogue, with only a manual meter...the lack of advanced technology forced me to fully understand the way that aperture, shutter speed, and ISO (back then called ASA) are related. Years later, cameras have dramatically changed, but the function of photography in my life has not. Photography, to me, is an important way to engage with and be immersed by life experiences, a way to look deeply, examine details, understand environments, and of course be aware of the position of the sun as our tiny planet makes its daily revolution.Vote for this photo, and you’ll be entered for the chance to win a $500 Visa Gift Card or a $500 WWF Donation!
