At Kalawewa National Park in SriLanka, we stumbled across a herd of Sri Lankan Elephants (Elephas maximus maximus) roaming and playing around the banks of Kala Wewa. There, we waited in the clearings in order to capture the behaviours of the elephants. As I favour low angled shots of animals, I was lying down on the ground and waiting for some good and interesting shots. It was then I encountered a magnificent and a rare incident and was able to capture it: two male elephants, one of them being a tusker, making their way through the clearings. Both of the elephants were naturally positioned in such a way that both the bodies of those elephants had one single head of a tusker. This shot really amazed me and is one the personal favourites of mine, as this was a reward to my patience and also this picture that even sometimes, Nature acts as a perfect Photoshop.
