Thanks for viewing.

I got the shot of this lonely tusker when he got separated from the herd and after taking bath he was trying to dry his body with dust. It was morning time and I shot it against the light.

They do like their dust bath, don't they!  A very nice capture of the action with the swinging trunk and the swirl of dust - the back light is perfect to show off the dust cloud Saurav!

If you just make the image a touch lighter, it will show it off at its best IMO.

Captured very nicely, but you can improve it further by brightening up the frame and give it a better cut too.

I really like the way the dust cloud is backlit giving that wonderful arc.
