Play-fighting

Indian Elephants play-fighting.
Although it was a play fight between the two young elephants, it was big enough to scare away the tiny Myna.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

I like the gentle interaction between the two young spiring Elephants Jagdeep, set in a nice habitat with gentle colours to help separate the main subject. I also like the tail curling round the rear side and the addition of the Myna bird just adds to a pleasing image. Good detail and clarity.

Lovely!

What strikes me Jagdeep is that in most of your elephant shots you have this gorgeous soft light, which produces excellent detail. The soft green grass and the wooded BG are also prominent strong features in many of your other shots. Was this taken in Corbett?

Excellent IQ and detail on the larger image. The green grass and bird flying away really add a nice touch, wonderful shot, way to go.

Excellent, Jagdeep. I especially like the mid-flight suspension of the bird as a secondary eye stopper.

Lighting is marvelous as well as the playful interaction, and the comparatively tiny Myna, who looks to me more pissed at being disturbed than overtly afraid, is a wonderful bonus, very nice capture Jagdeep :^)
