"In the thick high altitude forest of the Aberdare National Park in Kenya, a favorite of mine because it is so seldom visited by tourists, it is not uncommon to come round a corner and startle a bull elephant such as this one," says artist Guy Combes. "My proximity was so immediate that I was almost able to see the thought processes in his eyes going from surprise to indignance, as he brought himself to full attention raising his head and looking down his trunk at me. I was able to snap a couple of shots before beating a very hasty retreat as indignance turned to rage and a charge was imminent."
