Baby Elephant's Eye Cleaner

[amollambe]

Hi,
As we travel through this majestic & pristine aura of Jim Corbett Park, situated in Northern part of Indian state of Uttaranchal. It’s scenic beauty & rustic environment empowered you. We were privileged & blessed to visit this park in this summer, we enjoyed every bit of it.
In this shot baby elephants are with their mums and one was cleaning his eye.
Warm Regards,
Amol

How can you tell they are cleaning their ears??

i love the color and exposure - perfect - but the left elephant being cut off really hurts the composition - i would love the off-centeredness if there was a sliver of green on the left but it just looks like bad aim since the elephant is cut off. of course, elephant photos are still infinitely cooler than flower pictures so thumbs up for subject matter. it might also be a tad bit soft but its not too detrimental.

you cropped the left side of the second elephant off on purpose? maybe you can post the uncropped shot here for comment...

WHY did you crop the elephant off? What was your reasoning? I'm just curious what you were thinking.
