Although didn't get the perfect setting for this kind of picture, but I was pleased with this one.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

Nice light and colors Jagdeep. An interesting view that shows off the layered body armor quite nicely. I also like how you've framed this one with the tree trunks.

Hi Jagdeep, I really like this, simply because it's different. I get the impression the 'body armour' is simply hooked on, easily replace when dented.

Nicely position as Steve says, between the trees, also shot in nicelsoft light, but would like to have seen the scrub background extended up, so the 'white' sky isn't piercing through.

PS Well done on the elephant calf image, lovely, in Canon's CPS

Hi Jagdeep,

I'm not sure I'd want to hang this one on my wall, but it IS really interesting. Amazing animals - they look almost like mechanical armoured all-terrain vehicles! The twinned pose is compelling and the techs look spot on. I also quite like the natural frame provided by the trees on each edge of the shot. As usual - well done!

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Nice shot Jagdeep - I love the interesting perspective and the texture of the armour is amazing!

Good work as always!

Great stuff here and fully worthy of a good "rr's shot "mention.

The thing here is that the rear is far more interesting than that of most animals, as it demonstrates its uniquely layered skin very well,

This will make a great end-plate for a future book of your photos!

Love the framing by two tree on each side. Not very many subject I can think of better photographed with butt shot.

Way to cool, that is a rear view you do not see very often. I like the overall composition and good detail on the larger version, very unique image, excellent work, way to go.

Wish I would have seen this in real. Lovely!. The trees on the outher edges are not required. They ask for some attention and start competing with your main subject. A square crop of the amazing animals would do the job, but as it is it is a beauty as well.
