thank you for any comments or critiques

Very nice the way the young man peeks out from behind the elephant ears. Good capture of the moment.

Linda, I like the way you have cropped this one, gives a strong presence to the ellephant and well associated the connection with the peeping child, probably enjoying the play in this spot.

thank you David and Pnina. although the focus in intentionally on the elephant, this is really about the experience of the child

Thanks for your very kind comment on one of my photos, but I am very happy you commented as it led me here to your portfolio. What an amazing portfolio it is! There are so many great shots here, both in color and black and white that I will have to spend an evening here to begin to take them in. This shot caught my eye (well, many, many shots did that...) because I love portraits of children out in the world, The way the elephant initially dominates the image before the viewer moves on to the real subject matter of the child is just fantastic. The elephant itself looks as doubtful as the child about the whole deal. The child does not look like she is enjoying the experience all that much, and this seems to worry the elephant. In the end I hope it all worked out for them both! Great job on the composition and the captured emotions. Thanks again, and I look forward to pouring through your other work!
