Perfect pose by the youngster here, Ken. In profile, with the trunk raised in between the older one's feet really makes this image work.

The detail in the larger image is amazing. That baby is adorable. That bit of blue reflection in the water adds some neat color to this, too, along with the feel of action from their trunks. Must be really cool to see this. Good one.
