In this first version the elephant is caught feeding himself, trunk to mouth...which caught my attention while reviewing my photos.

In second version (on this page) the elephant's trunk is down...but the expressions on the children are a joy to see.

The older girl is pleased to be having her photo taken, a common occurrence in India when a camera is produced.

She is protecting her little ?sister? with her left arm so she does not get too close to the photographer (me) while two boys peek around with curiosity.

This one lower right quadrant of the photo would make a great photo in itself.
The elephant and all else in the photo showing the "environment" of the scene makes the full frame interesting...and timeless.
