[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The two elephants were leaving the Olifants River in the Kruger National Park after their morning bath. We were fortunate to be able to stand on a bridge watching a group of about 12 elephants going abut their morning business in the river.

Hello Wia,
Pretty good image; I've been there as well. In October. Not easy
to take images from that bridge and you have to be lucky as well as you mentioned in your note. Unpredictable nature, I call it.
Well done

Nicely done, I would try to crop it a little closer to the bigger elephants foot, giving less space at the bottom, putting both their eyes on the thirds. Is there not a third, smaller elephant in the tall grass? Am new here too but from looking at the other notes noticed most leave ideas on what was done to their photo in their notes, do not think it is a rule, but may help!

I like this shot because it shows the bond between the mother and offspring. I love the pov, the clarity, and the wonderful moment that is filled with emotion.

Nice habitat shot, love this.

hello Wia,
What an interesting scene. I love the attitude of both elephants. As a mother I also know these moments of impatience. Very natural picture. Great.
best regards
