Jagdeep,
Certainly proves that modern "improvements" are not really needed!
Great image and composure

Well done is every way, with solid composition.  I find the choice of adding just this amount of mother in the frame pulls my eye strongly to consider her mouth detail, so depending on your intent, that could be considered a detraction.

Very neat shot Jagdeep, I agree with Lon the way it's composed I am really drawn to the corner with the mother's mouth.  devil

I agree with others about the crop. Having the trunk without the mouth will help in my opinion.Otherwise, a fantastic frame with great colors and tones. Very tender moment. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it needs a serious CCW rotation.

Cheers,

Hisham.
