Inspiration

Love for Africa!!!!! We found this old Bull Elephant that was walking alone in the middle of the Serengeti in search of the tender grass. It was very calm and relaxed and turned his head to us only a the beggining, for the rest of the time we was like invisible for Him. We followed It for 30 minutes in complitly silence around us.

Editing

I used GIMP with only two level. BW for the background e Natural color for the Bull Elephant.

In my camera bag

Sony DSC RX-10 with Zoom 24-200.
