Coming back to my favourite subject, I love to shoot with a big smile behind the camera.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

Jagdeep,
it is always nice to see yongsters playing as if they would be adults and this image is no exception. You handled it very well technically, but that we know about you.
I see that you have cropped the image and I wounder if the adult in the background is fully shown on the original shot. That maybe something I would like to see, or better, and that is easy said, if it would not be there ...

Very cute moment!
I might tone down brightness just a tad if it were mine?
I agree with Cay-Uwe about leaving the full elephant in BG in if you have it all...

I too wished to have full Ele in the BG, but this was shot with a Sony camera, on an assignment, n I was experimenting with this crop version in the body.

PS. I however feel that OOF elephant is adding to the story, that when mother looks away, youngsters start fighting.

OK, agreeing the adult in background is unfortunate...but the timing of the photographer to get this almost perfect baby jousting pose is great! I love the twisted trunks, the wet splotches of water and mud on their bodies and the hairy textures.

I also was thinking the same thing about the adult in the BG, but nothing you can do about it now. Either way, I love this image. The interaction is just awesome. Very high on the cute scale as well.

Jagdeep,
Just viewed this again, mainly because I was unsure of the OOF Elephant.
Whilst it might be nice to either have the whole body, I do not think it is really distracting.
