beautiful shot. What an amazing mammal. We have some creative God if he makes a creature that uses its nose (of all things) to help itself to a drink. Nice shot.
Nice shot of the action, challenging light with the top of the head blowing out in places and the face lost in shadows. Possibly worth filling in with flash, but I'm not sure if that would startle the elephant.

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.
