Baby Elephant Bathing

Baby elephant bathing. By mistake I used fixed-point metering, so had to retore the image during post-processing. But still light may be too much. Any other suggestions to improve is welcome.

Hairy little buggers aren't they? Your exposure looks fairly good. But a lack of focus on the eye which results in a soft instead of sharp photograph.

Cropping in closer may help by reducing the out of focus reeds in the foreground. Next time try shooting this image with a polarizer so that you don't get glare from the water. Jim
