Thirsty Elephants

This small group provided an interesting pose for us.
Taken in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.
The pinkish colour of the little one indicates that it is quite "new".

Love the setting, poses and the arrangement within the frame. The positioning of young one under the mother's belly is awesome.

I love this, Ken. I have a deep respect for the gentle giants, and this image with elephants of varying sizes/ages is magical. The wee one under the Mom is purely coincidental (by your comments) but still just wonderful. Thanks for posting and making my evening! You also have the distinct honor of being my first critique here on NPN. How'd I do?!

The positioning of the baby is what makes this for me. The whole image conveys a sense of elepanht family. Well done.

Quite a grouping, Ken, and maybe it would have been better if there had been separation between individuals. Poses are great as are the warm lighted colors.
