<div><div>An extraordinary vantage point gave this image of a commonly-photographed species – elephants <em>Elephas maximus</em>, a unique perspective. A mother and calf wade through the Injipara river near a <em>shola</em> grassland among the Anamalai Range. As the mother diverged from the herd to enter the river, her calf followed. And with every step forward, beautiful ripple formations enhanced the scene, presenting the photographer with this image.</div><div> </div><div><strong>Location:</strong> Valparai, Tamil Nadu <strong>Details:</strong> Camera: Canon 60D, Lens: Canon EF 100-400 mm. f/4.5-5.6L IS USM, ISO 500, Shutter speed: 1/160 sec., Aperture: f/5.6, Focal length: 100 mm., Flash: No</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>
