Such a tender moment. Elephants have always fascinated me with their amazing capacity for gentleness.

This is a stunning and fantastic work! I love the sense of dignity you've imparted to such awesome creatures! Oh, the eyes are what get me, those are wise eyes and they have personality...calmness...an almost glacial calmness. I love this!
