Taken in Ngweshla area of Hwange NP, Zimbabwe, 2nd July 2010.
Although mot apparent in this image, when looked at through binos this young ellie had a pinkish tinge indicating that it was a fairly recent addition to the magnificent Elephant population of this park.
Certainly looks very young, what a dear little elephant. Love the post you've captured. Don't know what time of day, but the light has a nice glow to it. Did you get anymore of this baby?
Excellent, when you get some nice evening light and a really interesting subject it is rewarding when you get a chance for several images. Look forward to seeing them.
Sweet capture Ken !! Like the soft line, framing and interaction ... mom is taking real good care of the little guy!! Tech wise might have tried (after nailing a couple) lowering the shutter speed for more dof !! My first would always be with sharpness in mind btw its difficult to get used to but the MK4 will do mighty fine even at 1600 when needed !!!! Mighty fine image !!! ... you did have a great trip !!!
Regarding sharpness I have others where the young one does not look at all sharp, I can only excuse this by pleading that they are extremely "downy" at that age
"Fresh" Elephant
