Wonderful interaction, Jagdeep, and the exposure looks just right. Is this a crop? I would like to see it with a little more space around, but fully realize a lot of other factors enter into that decision. Happy New Year and I am looking forward to your continued high quality postings!

Hello Jagdeep

And happy new year to you!!1 Great interaction and excellent details. Very tight crop? probably distractions close to the subjects ? I can see why your smiling....

Thanks for sharing

An excellent shot of these two elephants at play. The poses and expressions are great especially on the little one. I really like the tight crop here whether you framed it while shooting or chose it in processing. I know loosey, goosey crops are popular here on NPN but getting in tight like this adds impact and puts more emphasis on the subjects as far as I'm concerned. A nice shot to start off the new year!

I really like the playfulness of this shot Jagdeep. You really translate the close relationship of elephants in this image.
