Elephants cooling off

We filmed these youngsters cooling off in the river a couple of days ago, to escape the afternoon heat.

Unfortunate that you lost part of one of the trunks - as it is these that lend the photo its main interest. The eye of the elephant behind is also not visible - this would lend character and life. Great try - the photo is excellently exposed, but compositionally is wanting. Score 5/10 (from the Score Me! group)

Score 7/10 (from the Score Me! group) I can't add anything to Adam except to say I am envious that you had opportunity to be close to these magnificent animals.

Fantastic!!! It must be wonderful to capture these moments on film and in photos! From the time I was a child, I wished to be a wildlife photographer, but never had the means to do so. Your images are wonderful!!!
