great crop on this! the composition on this is perfect. i also love how the lighting helps accentuate the roughness of the elephant's skin.

Nice. However, focus seems dead on the elephant in background. Baby elephant looks blur.

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice

Make a great texture entry as well. Well done. Good luck

Nice texture. The light on his face is a bit too harsh for my taste. It kind of blanches him out. I love his raised trunk.
