    Hi folks .. another image from Zambia , captured in Lower Zambezi NP .
    Nothing special just an Elephant calf running though water .... always great fun to watch them , when they do show this behavior . Mum and aunties were just behind this little guy .

    Canon EOS 1Dx
    EF 500 IS L II + 1,4 TC
    Tripod

    F 8 ; Iso 2500 ; 1/2000 sec ; man exp

    Processed with DPP 4 and PSCC 2022 ; slight crop from all sides . The OOF FG is not ideal but was unavoidable , was again out of the vehicle and moving was limited due to animals around .

    Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous posting

    Cheers Andreas

    Super cute Andreas, lovely action here!

    Nice detail and colours, love the splash, perhaps if you rotate a bit you might eliminate some of the oof FG on the RHS?

    The only thing that bugs me a bit is the Egyptian Geese behind the ele's bum... otherwise all good, lots of fun, like the BG, pose really sweet. Nice one!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Great action colours and details. Two minor things detract for me, i.e. the geese and the OOF stuff on the RHS I think they could be easily removed and the image would be elevated quite a bit I reckon.

    Hi Andreas -- You are the only one going strong on BPN , we all are letting the Wildlife forum down.

    I liked the moment, always fun to photograph elephant calf, they are always upto something and you managed to capture that nicely. Apart from minor distractions as mentioned above, the image is well framed and IQ is very good as always. The geese infact dont bother me that much.

    Nice one. TFS !

    A lovely image of the little elephant. The walking pose, the splash and the extended tail and trunk add so much here. Good HA and those large ears are a treat to watch.
