Serene and moving, but the smart-ass in me is having difficulty resisting the temptation to comment about a stellar self portrait. Fun to see you on the front page.

Well, I'll be... I'd love to offer a warm, witty, and insightful essay, but I'll just stick with "this makes me smile". I will add, however, that the prickly bit off to the right is somehow a stern message, even sterner than that of your title, making sure that we all understand the significance of this marvelous beast.

A favorite of mine......the plight of these beautiful giants is terribly sad, and your image touched on those emotions for me. Congrats on the ribbon.

Congratulations on another wonderful photograph. It's great to see one of yours on the front page. But it's always great to see one of yours. On any page.

I am flabbergasted that this is your first ribbon. Great shot, I love elephants. I also love the title.

Paul, you might want to change the subject now that you got so much appreciation. Something became fishy.

Everything about this is perfect: the subject, the pp'g, who took it, what he shot it with, and where it ended up :)

Something about this just let me go. Fills me with ineffable sadness, a sense of longing and loss. Superior image. All the hallmarks of an Ubique. 10 from me.

Very cool shot but I'm not sure I would want to be in that position.

My only 10. There's just something about this that grabs at me.

Typically I do not like behind shots of animals but with the processing it really works.

An ingeniously composed photo of ones behind. Has a touch of sadness to it, considering the title, wonderful!
