Interesting Photo of the Day: Baby Elephant Gets a Bath

You may think of nature photography as portraits that capture the raw, wild beauty of our an animal counterparts. But, on occasion, a photograph surfaces which captures the human interest side as well. Such is the case when Arkom Pimsarn pulled out his Nikon D700 to capture a candid moment between a young elephant and his caretaker. The photo, which you can see below, was taken in Chiagn Mai, Thailand, presumably at one of the regions more credible elephant sanctuaries.

For the technically curious, the photo was shot at ISO 320, with a focal  length of 170mm. The shutter speed was at 1/500th sec at f/2.8.
