An interesting composition, I’m not sure if you shot like this or later composed like this ?
You may crop out the ear of bigger elephant for better composition.

Hi Sandy. Love the placement of the legs and the remarkable toe nails on the calf. Can feel the energy as it strives to keep up to mom

This is another darling toddler picture Sandy. You’ve had a really nice run from the jaguar cab, to the lion cub, to the moose calf, and now this little cutie. Nice series and collection.
