Leading the procession we have the bull, then an adult female and her older daughter and young mischievous son complete with trunk in the air! Above the bull are a pair of squabbling Anteater Chat. It took over an hour and a lot of patience to capture all four progressively sized with clear separation and to a wonderful evening sky, what a joy to witness!

This was worth the wait to get the alignment and separation, what a wonderful image. Viewing against the dark bg makes a big difference. Just love the trunk in the air on the baby- for me that really makes the image!

Beautiful silhouette capture of this lovely line up Marc! Perfect angle to get the clear outlines - including the legs, and the little calf with its raised trunk is the icing on the cake. Love it!

Fantastic! The alignment of the elephants could not be more perfect and the trumpeting babe just makes the image all the more better.
bravo!

Love this one mate! Poses and separation are incredible...
Could perhaps do with a hint more overall brightness to the sky?
