lovely shot Laetitia, great colour, compositions and that feeling for connection between human and animal, really nice.

Apparently the family bonds in elephants are very strong and they can even experience the feeling of mourning their dead, so I am not surprised they can enjoy the moment of affction.

WOnderful shot, dear Laetitia... yes, even elephants like it, and they also cry! A beautiful moment of intimacy between this little boy and the revered animal. Lovely how his hand is blurred in motion on the elephant wrinkly skin. Beautiful composition too.
Amicalement,

Très bien vu, Laetitia. J'apprécie l'angle de prise de vue original, l'opposition des couleurs. Cet éléphant a l'air de prendre son pied!Même le relatif manque de netteté sur l'enfant ne me gène pas
Très joli!

Hi Laetitia,

its a beautiful phoot. I like the textures and wrinkles of the elephant's skin and the superbly expressive elements of the boy's hand and the elephant's eye. Both express this moment of bonding and affection.

Hello Laetitia,
Une photo très touchante,
l'enfant semble s'occuper très bien de ce "petit" mamifère ;o)
ton tilt dynamise l'ensemble,
c'est très réussi.
Amicalement Thierry

Bonjour Laetitia
Bravo, tu as su saisir un très beau moment de complicité entre cet enfant et l'éléphant. L'oeil de ce dernier est fermé, il semble apprécier le geste de l'enfant. tu as eu de la chance que ce gamin soit vêtu de rouge qui apporte une couleur éclatante à la monochromie du reste de la photo - Bien vu -
Amicalement
Daniel

Hello Laetitia,

As I said your gallery is excellent. I was captured by the scene, here, and the blasting red color over the grey of the rest of the picture.
Very nice scene and composition
Regards Stefano
