Balancing perfectly on Rajan the famous swimming elephants tusks, his mahout Nasru demonstrates the trust that exists between the man and animal. Photographed by thirty two year old photographer Cesare Naldi, this amazing scene was captured as Rajan took a breather from powering his four-ton frame gracefully through the water on his morning swim. Highlighting the unique bond that 60-year-old Rajan has with fifty eight year old Nasru, this particular image and resulting series was enough to win Cesare first prize in National Geographic's International Photography contest in December of last year. World renowned for his ability to swim, Rajan and Nasru have become something of a fixture at their home on Havelock Island, which is part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the tropical Indian Ocean.
