The first time I set eyes on this fever tree forest in the Pafuri area of the Kruger National Park I knew it would be the setting for a great image at some time. Every time I went there, I looked but was never successful until this day. This bull elephant was feeding in a natural amphitheatre in the forest with his back to the road where we were parked. I had time to play the image I wanted in my mind, over and over again, so I got down low and waited till he finally turned around. I had set up the camera with all the time I had, my focus point was perfect and I had checked the exposure. This was my favourite image of the sequence.
