This was a bit of a sad find. Elephants were my all time favorite African subject. Not a lot I could see to do with this photgraphically. At least I got the chance to see and shoot a newborn to complete the circle of life.

I think this would benefit from a clearly identifiable body part/bone somewhere prominent. As is, I struggle to see what it is (elephant, I can see it is an animal) without your explanation. A sad find for sure, and given it looks quite old, I think you did well with what you had.

The skull is most definitely Elephant, and the remains of hide is like a cloak over the skeleton. I also like the way nature is reclaiming by sending the flowering plant around and through the bones.

Well seen and taken Steve.
