Hi Jagdeep,
Great timing capturing this special mother-calf moment - and that "touch" of eye contact adds even more to this shot. Love how the texture and sharpness of the subjects is contrasted with the silky smooth background. I also really like how all the key elements are positioned in this shot - from the "centre" of the action, through to the positioning of mom's legs. Unfortunate about the out of focus grasses overlapping the subjects, tho' I suspect they'll be far more likely to bother photographers more than the viewing "public" (non-photographers).
Cheers...
Brad

The POV and tender behavior's wonderful Jagdeep, the OOF FG grasses do not bother me.
Connects very nicely with the viewer, sharp details

Jagdeep: you've really captured a tender scene. As has been mentioned previously, the eye contact greatly adds to the shot. It's not very often that one sees an elephant calf suckling and to capture it as you have is unique in the best sense. Richard

This is a cute moment, Jagdeep! You captured it perfectly. The eye contact makes it just that bit extra.
