I could not get Ellie to spray water, stand on her rear legs or kneel. Sorry. The light spot on her head is natural. For many years her head was all white and she is still sensitive about that. Please be kind. Elephants are almost human and their feelings are easily hurt. She loves making her shadow.

Ellie is a nice elephant and she makes a nice shadow. I like that the way you've set up the light makes it look like a sunset against the shadow. Too bad it blows out the highlights on her head, but I don't see how you could avoid that without a double exposure and photoshop magic or some such arrangement. Good going.
Interesting concept. I like the texture on the Ellie Phunt's back and the way the light dies off on the right. It would have been nice if you could have controled the light source a little more and not burned out the top of his (her) head.
