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

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.

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
