Congratulations. I can see why it is a winner. The light is great and I really like the composition and the positions of the elephants in their family group.

Such a tight arrangement of the elephants certainly warranted the tight composition. The light gods were shining on you for this one as well. Very nice!

Jagdeep, It sounds like I'm late to the game on recognizing this outstanding image. Seriously, to have captured such symmetry in the elephants grouping, and in such great light - what a rare pleasure to view. I love elephants, so naturally I hope to see and shoot these Indian relatives someday. Congratulations on this amazing image!
