Image of a Herd of Elephants on the banks of Chobe river. The adults seem to be protective of the young one.

Well composed and exposed focused etc, unfortunately the elephants behind te foremost three make the image a little complicated with a tail and legs intruding into the main point of interest.

Hi Sanjeev, a nice protective scene, good to have the calf visible. I wondered about going a little cooler, but you were there.

A nice family scene, the little one looks a bit sad. I might have taken something off the top to bring the concentration more onto the animals. TFS

Nice scene Sanjeev, yes they do love to form protective circles around the young.
I do wish there was tad more of the legs visible...and would consider a pano crop from the top to get it all green behind them?

Hi Sanjeev -- Lovely sight ! I feel the FG should be chopped of and also the top of the frame .

TFS !

Hi Sanjeev - nice look at the protective herd. Good suggestion to take some off the top. I would eliminate the sky completely.

TFS,
Rachel

Hi Sanjeev a nice behavior shot , it would have been better to have the elephants in the BG not there..... but no choice for you . So you did well for my taste .
