Hi this is really cute. I would be scared to sit on the ground when these elephants are nearby!

I would give them a little more room on all sides but other than that I think it's great!

Hi Ken! Similar poses make it very appealing. A touch more room on the top will help.

Like mother, like child. The action of the young one that mirrors the action of the adult is great. Captured just right.

Ashleight,
