Elephant washing in Malaysia - by Barend

I was lucky to spend a few days in Malaysia last month and visited the elephant sanctuary.

They took the elephants for a wash in the river. This shot was taken with my 50- 200mm zoom lense.

I like the way the water forms an arc over the rider, but wish he had turned to face me  for this shot.

I must agree I do like the S formation of the water to the base of the trunk. Pity about the rider, I am sure his expression would have ended the story nicely.
Good exposure and focus, only just dropping off at the tip of the trunk. I suspect the elephant was swinging it’s trunk to the left.
Certainly a different sort of car wash!
