Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

This pair of baby elephants mock charged the vehicle in the background only to think better of it. Photographically, their retreat was more interesting than their charge as they were now head on. The occupants of the vehicle enjoyed the spectacle.

Technical Details

R5 and 100-500 lens at 1/200, f/10 and Auto ISO.

This is cute, Richard, but I must admit to a lot of sympathy for those young elephants just trying to get somewhere and getting surrounded by safari vehicles.

Dennis: they were never surrounded as there are never more than two vehicles at a sighting. They quickly rejoined the herd which was already in the bush.
