Jagdeep,
This works for me but then it has a baby Elephant in it. For me this type of interaction is always difficult to capture, most particularly how much of Mum should be included, the position of the trunk is not "traditional", but makes it different.
My only nit would be the shadow on the baby's head but nothing you could do about that.
An experiment that worked

Like Ken, I love baby elephant images. This one lacks the emotional appeal of some of your previous posts. Possibly the lack of direct eye contact and the shadows. Pleasing nonetheless.

Hi Jagdeep,
I really like this one. Love how the presence of that hanging trunk adds so much to the story (that mom is overseeing everything junior is doing, the implied relationship between mom and junior, etc.). I don't think the shadow on junior is problematic at all - especially since the facial and eye region is sun-lit.
Cheers...
Brad
