The wet textured hide is eye catching. I like that you captured their playful attitude. I also like the elephants in the background. Gives a real sense of place.

Very cool, playful image! Elephants in the BG, really add to the scene.
I may prefer a slight crop on the left side of the frame.

I really like this one Ken! The interaction between the two is great and the BG really shoes off the terrain nicely. I do think it would be nice to have a bit more room on the right if you have some available.

Agree with the previous comments/suggestions. The action is very cool, light-hearted and fun. A very fine photo.

Thanks everybody for your comments, unfortunateliyI do not have more room on the right, although adding canvas would be relatively easy

I like it for the sense of movement and play. Suggestions already offered...
