Nice colours and close up view. Great detail too. Only wish the larger elephants eye was visible.

Location
Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa.Time
Went on a game drive in the morning and this was taken at 11:00.Lighting
A very nice day in, a bit overcast but it cleared up a bit, so all natural light but not too bright.Equipment
This was taken with a Fujifilm S-X1 Bridge camera, I just had the camera for a few days and was still learning the ins and outs of it, so no manual setting as I just used the EXR function.Inspiration
This day there was literally hundreds of Elephants in the open, and was taking some pictures, and got to a spot where the sun was at the right angle, these Elephants were walking around , and came very near the cars and I got some nice compositions , this one just stand out as the whole parade just come past with the baby elephant playfully leading the parade.Editing
Just brighten the shadows and adjusted the contrast on it.In my camera bag
I carry the Fujifilm X-S1 bridge camera, and also recently added a Fujifilm X-T10 (18-55mm). I am wheelchair bound so for me the Bridge camera was the perfect starting point as it was light and I did not have to carry a lot of equipment with me.Feedback
Never travel without your camera, The Addo Elephant park is perfect if you want to see lots of Elephant, it git some nice open savannah areas with low grass so no restrictions to get nicely composed shots.
