    Hi Sanjeev - It's often tough to isolate a shot of a baby ele. I find the placement of the baby's head vis a vis the mother's leg to be a bit of a problem here. Perhaps giving the baby a bit more pop to separate it more and darkening the mom and bg would help. Be careful of introducing halos, there's a faint one along the mother's leg and the baby's trunk.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    I like that the calf is so visible and the inclusion of the mother's rump certainly gives some sense of size. I think it needs a bit more 'POP' as Rachel has suggested, and perhaps a very careful use of clarity slider might help you here. Increase clarity a little on the calf and reduce elsewhere. Even though you had a 1/800s, sharpness is marginal and I'm not sure why.....did you use NR on the elephants which has caused some smeariness?

    I think another issue with this image is the scaling, the baby needed to be a year younger or mum (if it is her) needed to be bigger, to make better use of the sizing impact.

    Hi Sanjeev,
    i quite like the image , showing the small size of this cute elephant.Like the two lifted legs.

    Technically or PP not ideally done, i think. Good suggestions to try out already made by the others.
    Plus i would add a slight canvas rotation.

    TFS Andreas

    HI Sanjeev,

    I agree with Andreas on the canvas rotation. Looks very nice and you got already good suggestions to bring it up further.

    Have a great day

    Ciao
