Playful Elephant [Contest Finalists March 2004]
Uploaded: March 05, 2004 02:55:26
Taken at the Cincy Zoo early in the day , a couple of years ago. When I approached the elephants and saw Ganesh playing, there was no time for manual settings or a tripod. I quickly switched to auto and grabbed this shot before the moment passed.
