South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve
The elephant in the first photo isn't trying out for the ballet. Instead, it is holding some branches in place with its left foot so it can more easily peel the foliage away with its trunk and enjoy the feast.
The elephant in the second photo is also preparing for a feast. I happened to be at the right position at the right time with the right focal length to make it seem as if I was only inches away. Especially to get the full impact of this photo, please click it to view it in the Lytebox.
