This image was taken at Addo Elephant Park and is typical of how elephants protect their babies. I flipped the image horizontally as I thought that it looked better going from left to right.
All comments appreciated.

Hi Pieter, you need to change your Colour space to sRGB, not RGB then the image hopefully will not appear so saturated. :S3:

Thanks

What a fun image, and I think you have just enough of both adults to make it work. I like the fact that the little one has one foot forward.

I saw this so frequently last week in Etosha too. Nice moment, Pieter - good call by Steve on the colour space. Make sure you have the "embed color space" and "sRGB" boxes ticked in your "save for web and devices" window in PS...

Few things beat the cute factor associated with a teeny elephant calf!

Steve and Morkel - have done so, thank you
