Original - A female African Bush Elephant raises her trunk as a warning sign in Mikumi National Park, Tanzania
Reason
We already have a FP of this elephant but IMO this one shows a different aspect. While in the park, our vehicle moved too close to the elephant and she raised her trunk and one of her fellow elephants did the same, as if sniffing the air. This one then stomped around for some time. Good EV as it shows the individual hairs which may aid in the sensitivity as well as the raised trunk. Very high res.

  • Weak support: Good EV, action shot, high resolution and clear. Worried about how the majority of the animal is not shown, but considering the context that was the least of your worries. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:38, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • The majority of the animal is shown in the other FP. IMO the purpose of this is to show the trunk and facial details. Fortunately we were left untouched by the mighty elephant, no thanks to the guide who insisted we move even further! --Muhammad(talk) 17:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support adequate EV, clear shot. Pinetalk 21:02, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I think as Pine does about this. Pteronura brasiliensis (talk) 13:15, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Head shots can have a tough time, but I think this one has appropriate EV. I think it has been perhaps sharpened a bit much though (the fine white halo between elephant and sky) JJ Harrison (talk) 07:19, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per JJ, but wouldn't mind a re-edit; the sharpening halo is even visible in thumb. --jjron (talk) 13:13, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Fantastic trunk detail. Fallingmasonry (talk) 16:07, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Would have loved to have seen the whole animal, but can be forgiven given the context and resolution. SMasters (talk) 08:23, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
