Mark - cute and you did well under the circumstances. I like the framing between the protective members of the herd. I do wish you had more room below and had not cut off the feet. Maybe go tighter to minimize this effect.

Yep, can only echo Rachel's thoughts.

Mark,
What a great moment, pity about the feet but no bothers for me. The left hand trunk would be my biggest bugbear, but there you go, panic in situations like this is the norm for me at least

Quite sharp for 1/30 with that lens Mark! It does seem like the calf's face isn't as sharp as it could've been using higher SS
I too rue the tightness at the bottom, but love the earthy tones and the textures here as well as the tender moment.

I keep coming back to his image, cropping aside, I love it.
This should have a ton more comments!

Mark,
Sound s like you had a few "distractions" going on around you as you tried to take this shot
. Still, you got the sweet eye contact and the tones and curves of the elephants legs and trunks add up to a nice shot.

Sometimes... Some of our best images are the ones we are least prepared for... The golden rule is "no matter what get the shot" you did that ... So stop beating yourself up about the techs 
Well done on a great image in difficult circumstances
Congrats on your recent "ARPS"

Mark. Agree with Peter. Don't worry about the techs. This is a shot you will always remember for many different reasons. I like the elephant legs frame and the eye if the new baby. Having been to the park recently and being caught in a herd of adults and young, I can understand you anxiety.
