ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This photograph was taken in the last sunlight of the day with the elephant standing against a bank of dark green and shady bushes which allowed me to underexpose the photograph enough to blacken out the back drop. After swimming through the Chobe River from the Namibian side to the Botswana side the small breeding herd decided to sand bathe to protect their skin. This is a female elephant shot from a boat on the river.
