I like your elephant photos. This one with the shadows is especially nice and there are some wonderful patterns produced by these shadows..................Jim

Your elephants work very well in B&W Jagdeep. I like the way the calf is tucked into it's mom, and the way their two heads and trunks are mirrored. Perhaps a bit more detail can be pulled out of the shadows around moms eye? I like the tones and textures of their skin against a clean BG. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jagdeep,

Very sweet and endearing and techs look very solid. I do like the B&W conversions and sepia-toning you're performing on these shots - at least to me it suits the subject matter very well. Nicely done.

Cheers...

Brad

A little more detail in the shadows and a little more room on top. Other that that, perfect.

I would vote for a little more space,if available. That baby seems so tiny with a huge cuteness factor! I hope you stayed with them for lots of images.

I love the sense of intimacy in this image. B&W rendition is just perfect.

I love this image, Jagdeep! Looks great in B&W. The baby elephant snuggling into his mom is adorable. No nits from me.
