The Story behind the Shot:
This big bull elephant was in “musth,” a phase when there's a peak of testosterone and bulls are known to be aggressive. He walked alone across the field, which the rain turned it into a carpet of green and yellow. It was almost sunset, and luckily the sun found its way through the thick clouds, and shined over that field, painting it in brighter colors, while leaving the background in the darkness of the clouds. And even though in wildlife photography you almost always want the subject looking at you, I think this elephant's butt looks quite handsome in this lighting.
Quality Assurance:
Open Edition Giclee Prints are printed to the same high printing standards as Limited Edition. Each print has a wide paper border and is hand signed by me just beneath the image area. I check each one to ensure quality before it is sent to the buyer. All prints are printed to art gallery standards on high quality, acid-free papers with archival inks to ensure light fast durability. All sales are final.
