I took this shot while on a sunset cruise on the Chobe River in Botswana. We were lucky enough to watch this elephant crossing the river to an island for their evening grazing. After it left the water it spent time applying its mudpack for protection against insects. I was very lucky with lighting and position to be able to photograph this majestic animal. - By Dave Gale.
