Jagdeep, this is a fun scene. The "yin/yang" shapes of the trunks make the image, and I like that you can see the eye of the lower elephant.

I wonder how it would look if you cropped in from the right. It's nice that you left the full body in there, but the main action seems to be around those wrapped trunks and the elephants' faces, so you could draw more attention to that part of the scene and also create a more uniform background with a crop.

Nice interaction between these two teenaged ruffians Jagdeep. I guess they are checking to see what the other one has been eating.

Jagdeep,
Great "moment" captured here, I think the tighter crop works really well devil

Hi Jagdeep,

An oldie but a goodie! Max beat me to the punch on the crop suggestion - but I agree with his comment and I do prefer the more tightly cropped re-post.

Cheers...

Brad
