drinking elephant

we followed this elephant down a hill to a riverbank where he started drinking the water, and then rolling around in the mud. he then looked over at us, in the land rover, and wondered over so close that i could have reached out and touched him. now i've seen an elephant before, hell i've even ridden one, but there's something so different and amazing about seeing a wild animal. it sounds sickeningly cliché but i really felt like there was a connection there.
i think this could have worked in colour but i preferred it in black and white. here's the original.
