Stepping Down #6
Another addition to my Stepping down series that shows animals in a pose that can be interpreted as a state of defeat and stepping out of the limelight.
Enjoy!

EDITORS COMMENTS
Stepping Down #6" is an evocative photograph in Christian Meermann's series that invites viewers to ponder the complexities of animal behavior and the universal language of submission. In this image, a majestic elephant takes a pause, its massive form belying the vulnerability of its posture. The elephant's ears are spread wide, a clear sign of distress or submission, as it lowers its head and steps back with its hind legs. The background is a lush, verdant landscape, filled with the promise of new beginnings, yet the elephant seems to be leaving something behind. Meermann's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the scene, creating a sense of intimacy and connection with the animal. The muted tones and soft focus further emphasize the quiet, introspective mood of the photograph. The title "Stepping Down" suggests a state of defeat or relinquishing power, but it also implies a new perspective or a fresh start. The elephant's submission could be a sign of weakness or a strategic move, a way to avoid conflict or to protect its herd. This photograph invites us to reflect on the complexities of animal behavior and the many ways in which they communicate with each other and their environment. It is a reminder that even the most powerful creatures face challenges and must adapt to survive. Christian Meermann is a renowned wildlife photographer whose work has been featured in galleries and publications around the world.
