This huge bull was already wet and shiny from having taken a bath in a waterhole on the outskirts of Elephant Sands in Botswana and I loved the texture on the wet hide as it shone in the light of a setting sun. I chose to exaggerate the existing contrast by creating this stylised version concentrating on it's immense shape and I am really very pleased with the look, probably not to everyone's taste but it does make up the penultimate image of my similar portfolio of work which of course I hope you enjoy.
