I really like the positioning of the animals in conjunction to each other. A nice family out for an afternoon walk. Fine image.

Nice cozy family scene, Ken. But why do they seem to be hurrying? Are they trying to catch up with the rest of the herd? And, also please clarify - are you in the Arctic or in Zimbabwe, or are there elephants near the North Pole !?

but, seriously, you must be the most prolific contributor to NPN! Something like a serial killer......er, shooter!

Thanks everybody for your comments which are much appreciated. It seems I needed them blue and out of focus to be "good"

Nice frame with great positioning, but I find the light somewhat harsh.
