Elephants, and most animals have to drink every day, and in dry areas, sitting next to a water hole is always a good bet, because sooner or later, the body of water will attract animals in that area. We sat very quietly at this waterhole, and even turned off the shutter sound in order not to disturb this large matriarch with her calf when they came to drink. By getting right down to water level, I was able to capture this unique image.
