elephant and child

One held the camera while shuddering---the mother's family was just

behind her and I was less than thirty feet away

very very beautiful picture of this creatur. 30 feet is not a safe distance. great result. regards. amir.

Could we please have some details as for what caused this "dots" to appear all over the image ? I like the moment captured here as well as the subject matter and the angle, but... not so keen about the dots /grain/noise - not sure what to call it... Regards.
