Love the story telling aspect of the image.  I'd fool around with the exposure or brightness to see if you could get a little more "pop" to the B&W conversion.  Seems a little flat and it doesn't show many details in the mom's face.

I especially like the reflectivity off their wet bodies.  Neat capture.

Jagdeep: this is really a good study of form and texture as well as having captured a touching moment between mother and calf. Your PP choice of BW is well chosen. My only suggestion would be to do a bit of dodging of the heads of both elelphants. Congrats. Richard
