Tuskers, when not rivals, too are very playful like elephant calves, they are such a joy to watch. Here they are pushing each other for a bunch of grass.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

They look like they're having a great time. Great capture. At first I didn't notice it, but too bad the tip of the trunk isn't a little more sharp. So, I guess that's a minor nit. I also see a dust spot right next to it.

Hi Jagdeep,

I find this to be a very "happy" image - makes me smile! My only minor nit on this shot is that I found that the shadows between the two trunks made it a little difficult to figure out what parts were attached to each other (i.e., a little confusing visually). This confusion instantly went away when I looked at the larger version - it was totally clear which body bits were attached to which elephant. Made me ponder a little about how to present various sized images online...thanks!!

Cheers...thanks for sharing this one...

Brad
