Excellent perspective I wonder how you could achieve this top angle. Lovely feel in the b/w.

wow.. nice way to show the elephant habitat.

@VMR - this was using what i called as areal-pod I mounted my camera on the tripod and opened up all the legs and lifted it high on top of the gypsy so it sort of gave me a angle of view which would be higher than what you get on a elephant back also. Effectively this was around 15ft on top of the ground level. Triggering was done either using a remote trigger or self timer @ 10secs. One more from that experiment i had posted long back here > http://goo.gl/63orE
@Vinay - Thanks

Wonderful feel to this image . The BnW gives adds a lot of depth to this one .
