Interesting composition of these elephants of various proportions. Good placement, focus and clarity.
Love how the cute little one seems to be trailing behind the adults. The background of the grass and trees add to this nature photo. Good exposure.
A fun photo to view.

Love elephants, such gentle giants. Pity we couldn't get a up front view of the mother. I know when you're in the wild it's difficult. But a warm and educational shot nevertheless

There aren't many leaves left for either of them. A beautiful image in a very attractive natural setting. I like the patient look of the little one and the subtle color palette

Elephants are truly amazing animals and I love seeing them in the wild . This is such ch a wonderful image to show the mother and her sweet baby, this shows the huge difference in the size from the baby to the full grown adult.
They are well placed within the frame, well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, the colors and tones appear natural. Well composed allowing such a good sense of their location and the surroundings. Well presented!

Great name for the presentation! Nice natural colors, details and composition of this photograph. It is always nice to see the mom with a baby so nicely captured in the wilderness or at least close as it gets.
Thank you for sharing.

Although interesting is this fred ,do slightly wonder if a different viewpoint was possible because the first thing i noticed is the tree growing from the main elephant,its like when you see a lamppost growing from someones head,very basic error in this,just think different perspective would have been a lot better...Brian

    your welcome,well at least that explains it,sometimes it is difficult to review stuff because the viewer does not know the circumstances behind a photo and although i like to be honest with reviews does not mean i am always right.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of these two adult female Elephants & the young calf in the foreground the adults pull & eat the leaves from the trees around them. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Quite a sweet-looking shot with amusing note posted here. Your fine and appropriate composition offers us a good view of that feeding trio over there. Baby should be grateful to get anything to eat! Nicely done.

Comment from Jack Moore


First of all I was wondering where Botswana is. Second of all I like to see babies with their parents. I wonder how much that elephant weighs. I also see another one in front of the mother and it seems like when you see one or two there are some more not to far around. I love to hear stories of elephants and I really like how you have captured these. The only ones I have ever seen has been at the zoo, these are definitely magnificent creatures. Once again I like the trips that we go on. Keep up the great work. JackJr.

    thanks a lot Jack for your nice and detailed comments;
    I hope, that in the meantime, you looked at a map; lol;
    unfortunately I didn't take with me a balance to determine the elephant's weight;lol;
