'Short & Sweet', can't add much more to this, as the herd passed by, this little one stopped right in front.

This little ellie is just adorable, Steve

Super capture in lovely light and the composition is great! Love those fine little hairs and small wrinkles!

Beautiful detail and colours, superb processing as usual - what is not to like here, Sir?

Warmest regards,

Hi Steve - Nice look at the youngster and I love the pose with the curled trunk. Lots of great detail and textures. I do feel it looks just a little thin in the darks and midtones. Giving them just the tiniest boost shows off those details even more. The square crop works here.

TFS,
Rachel

P.S. Meant to say that you handled what looks like brighter light well.

Great capture Steve with nice details in the Elephant.

Hi Steve , a very cute little ellie .
Love the trunk curled and keeping it in the mouth , looks sooo cute .
Like the framing created by the various colors and elements , the grey elephant nicely popping out of the surroundings . Crop choice works very well too , in this case .
I would also boost the mid tones a very tiny fraction , but keep the darks as they are .Lovely details in the hide .
Well done , TFS Andreas
