that's just too cute - I love elephants, and esp baby elephants - she'd stomp the dickens out of that lion if he messes with her baby, but he sure looks intent on doing just that

This is an amazing capture. Might I ask if you reside in South Africa or was this a vacation? My husbands dream is to go and I want to photograph everything. I want to rent a really big big lens. One I could never afford.
