Tusker in the street..
Outside the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka.
Taken hand held at a very close range walking backwards at the side of him, not cropped at all.
See the focal length how close I was.
You can see Three Mahouts are taking this Tusker to a River close by.
Very tamed Elephant, they said, but I took a risk getting few shots of him. I managed few front shots, but this is the image I prefer as you can see the whole body of him. Mature Sri Lankan elephants in particular display heavy pinkish pigmentation of the skin around the ears, face and trunk
These are the Souvenir shops along side of this street. The Two people walking at the back is our good friend "Colin Kirtley" (who visited Sri Lanka during our hols) and my wife Preeni who is wearing a Pink blouse and white jeans.
I really want to share this with you my Flickr friends who have not seen Asian Tuskers this close.
Thank you for your visits, faves and comments. Constructive criticism and suggestions are most welcome!
