    The image was created in Samburu, Kenya in dappled sunlight. This youngster is only three or four says old, young enough that he hasn't yet taken his first mud bath. Samburu's soil is Georgia clay red, which you can see on his mother's hide. But he just has a couple of reddish spots on his rump from his mother's trunk. We spent several days following his group and really enjoyed his antics. By the time we had to leave the area, he had already developed an attitude and some independence, and was no longer as clinging to his mother. Here he is really seeking security. This is a slide scan so no detailed exposure data is available. I hope you like it, thanks for looking. Comments and critique eagerly sought, I'm here to learn. - John

    I really like the mood in this one. It does tell the story and it must have been a great experience to spend time with them.

    Very intimate image. Like the color and the texture of the adult elephant.

    An excellent image... I agree with other comments - great intimacy captured, and the tones in the image are awesome.

    Ditto Sabya and the rest. The image looks like a photograph of metal statues. The only thing that bugs me is the clipped toe on the left frame edge. All in all, superb.

    Fantastic, intimate image. Love the perspective that it gives, the textures of the elephants' hides, the color palette, and the way you've told the story with composition.
