family affair (Mali)

This is Mali hiding behind the bull elephant along with one of the

female elephants of Melbourne zoo.

thanks for your thoughts

Hi Art,

Nice shot using the 400mm lens.

I like the dramatic effect of the darkened background.

I also like to see more of the elephants, too. I know that in this setting, it is a trade off as to what you like to present. So I adjusted levels to see more of the subjects. I like both versions, and it is only possible because your original image before any posting was well done.

Best Regards,  Mike

Excellent composition and processing,very good work,regards

Great image Art. I also like Mikes mods with the levels. Regards. Bob

thank you all very much for your thoughts on this. Mike I appreciate you taking the time to give me another possible version of this image

Another tender moment, beautifully edited and presented Art. What a thrill it must be, just being in their presence and  having the opportunity to Photograph. Such a calming image as well.

No wonder so many have a love of elephants and many collect as many images and art pieces as they are able. I have a friend who is one such person, she is enthralled with these creatures. It is no surprise, especially when I view them so beautifully displayed.

Warmest regards, Gail
