[Harshad Barve]

Dear All

Made this image in Corbett National Park, Uttaranchal, India at 5 PM and evening golden light from my back.
With D300 / 600MM VRII F4 / ISO 200 / at F10 shutter at 1/250 secs

All C & C are most welcome and appreciated.

You did great hand holding the lens and making a sharp image at such a low shutter speed !! With the good performance of you camera would increase the ISO.

Love the look of determination on the youngsters Would rather have the little guys by themselves but having the parent might include a little more of him/her Excellent and like the soft light !!!

Really nice Harshad :) Stronger image !!!!!!

Harshad, you repost is much better, as the second elephant wasnt totally visible anyway. Lovely light and detail, and the little guy infront is on a mission.

[Fabs Forns]

Yes, yes, repost is much better compositionally!!!

Another vote for the repost. I didn't know they had such long tails. Looks like the rear calf is daring the first one to cross the road.
