Taken in Kenya's Amboseli National Park. Sony A1 with 200-600mm lens @ 600mm, f8, 1/500sec. Edited with Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. This elephant was playing with the cranes. It is my favorite photo of the year because of how it makes me relive the splendor of watching such a fantastic animal. I know this is likely not meaningful to anyone else, but it is my favorite.

Thank you, Clare. As a hobbyist, it is important to keep in mind that you do photography for yourself and not others. I like to share what I have done and I am proud of my work. I kind of figured that the rating here would be lower than how I would rate it...people are fickle. Regardless, this is my favorite of the year, and I am glad others got to see it.
