This is just a great compositon Mike. I don't know that I've ever seen a baby elephant this young.....wonderful detail, use of light....wonderful shot. Hope all is well with you. warm regards, Gail

Thanks Gail. He was moving about, quite active, when all of sudden he stopped, his head dropped and that was it; nap time. I haven’t really got a good shot they shows scale very well but he is quite small - I guess about the height of a Great Dane but somewhat heavier at 110kg.

 

All the best, Mike

 

Mike a fantastic image, this is one that I like a lot! Warm regards.

Beautiful shot. Love the bond between the baby and his mother. The tyre in the background is a bit distractive. Congrats.
