In their first few months of life, baby Elephants are very difficult to separate from the protection of their mothers.
This little guy plucked up enough courage to venture out from mum and sisters legs just long enough to extract a few images.

Thanks Ken, re, the sharpening, seeing as we both have exactly the same cal monitor, is something I always try never to do? Doesn't appear to be over sharpened on my monitor? Can't explain that? Is it the caked on mud that creates this effect? Not sure.
I was conscious of trying to get just mum's trunk in to create that close bond they have.
Marc, the baby doesnt look oversharpened to me, but would actually liked to have seen a litttle more of mom. Reason being, it would show the baby framed between the trunk, and maybe an ear. Still, a great sighting.
