Love this one Fred how fortunate to see mother and babies. Composition and color are excellent lighting and white balance also handled well.

First of all you are lucky again as it is special when an elephant has twins - excellent capture , and the dry baby seems to see you while the other one is one step ahead of his mom which mean he will be a leader at one time
great distance , perfect framing , sharp focus, perfect contrast and lighting - a beautiful composition again taken from the perfect distance and view point, well done

Comment from Sange


Very cute to see this family of three on the move wet from the water. Informative notes explaining why the one in back is mostly dry.
Great stop action, sharp focus and nice white balance control.
Very nice capture of elephants in the wild.

Excellent capture of the beautiful Elephant family - funny how one only went in the water up to the top of his legs. Very good lighting and focus showing great clarity. Lovely composition. Suzanne

You do really nice work. Fine cropping accentuating the size of the elephants by making them occupy about forty percent of the visual space and dead center of the photograph. Very nice. I also appreciate how in focus the elephants are as well as the trees in the background. Reasons for my five star vote.

Oh the little ones are so cute and small compared to Mom.
Wonderful capture of these wild elephants in their environment. It sure must get hot out there and the water important to cool them down. Great composition, lighting and clarity in this shot. A pleasure to view!

Elephant babies are so cute, and these two or no exception. I bet they all liked their little bath in the heat. The Three of them are also standing out from the background in an excellent way.

Your photo is Sharp showing Clear and well defined details in all the animals, and the exposure is Perfect. I also appreciate the Nice and Natural colors.

When it comes to the composition I think the photo needs more negative Space at the top and less at the bottom. Perhaps this can be fixed by a different cropping ? Still this is an all together lovely and well taken photo and With a very good DOF.

Comment from Nature Rick


Very beautiful photo of the mother elephant and her two little ones going for s swim. Perhaps the other little one didn't think it needed a bath. In focus and sharp, good DoF, natural tones and colors, good composition and well framed. Overall, a well done photograph.

A beautiful shot. The maternal instincts of these animals are evident in this great composition. I like sharp focus and the difference in tone between the wet and dry skin.
