Recently, I was invited as a part of jury of a live photography competition with 51 participants and we were supposed to go into the main jungle for only one day. BTW, I find it criminal to go there just for a day. Thinking about the limitation of time & opportunity, I just happened to carry one body with 70-200mm and 1.4x. 
Once inside, we happened to find a big herd of elephants, which arrived there, the previous evening. I'm so amazed at the fact that when photo opportunity presented itself, a friend of mine happily lent me his 400mm F 2.8 lens with 2X convertor, resulting in this wonderful image.

At times 'He' not only presents opportunities, but provide the essential equipment too, to execute them.

Perfect position of the calf with mother for protection, and love its tiny trunk extended towards her. This is just a wonderful image Jagdeep. It certainly was a magical opportunity - and you made the most of it with such a precious capture. Love it!
