Young elephants embracing.

In Sri Lanka in ancient times the elephant was crown property and harming one was a serious offence. Today there are over 2,000 wild and 300 or so domesticated elephants Sri Lanka.

The elephant is still highly regarded and plays a significant role in Sri Lankan culture. Many of the domestic elephants participate in the Perahera festival in Kandy and it is common to share the roadway to Kandy with an elephant and its mahout making their way to the festival days in advance.

    Hi,
    Good choice of tone (B&W). Composition and fine details are great. However, I suggest making more brightness & contrast between the elephants & their background as they seem to blend in, not giving the elephants as the STAR subject of this photo.
    Take care, Bonnie
