We were sitting at Sewni Hide In central Kruger NP when a small herd of elephant came down to drink. They stayed a bit and then the matriarch decided it was time to go. The whole herd turned around and followed her but this teenager was not done with the water. He showed his displeasure by tramping the water, rushing up and down and even letting go with a teenage trumpet. Kicking water seems to be an ellie way of showing displeasure as we have often seen it repeated. He later also tussled a bit with an older bull, and when calmed down, both followed the herd.
D300; 200-400 F/4; f/13; 1/640; ISO 640; -1.3 EV. @Oztours I did a B&W for you. Nik Silver Efex Pro and then I masked it and revealed some of the ellie's colour.
