Great photo! Definitely brings a smile to my face. so much fun to see the little one climbing on his sibling. Such a great expression.

I bet you did have fun photographing this little family. The expression on that little guy is just plain mischief. He has that twinkle of naughtiness in his eye! Love the supporting elephants, seemingly not phased by the antics.

Colours look great and the background perfect.

Yes. Plenty of smiles here!

Yes, a big smile. Great moment, and I like the position of the calves w.r.t. the mother.

I hope that these young elephants, when grown up, live a life in which there are also moments to smile once in a while.
