Nice pose. The young elephant has entered the pool for feeding on duckweed, in my view. Wallowing is the bonus. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Lovely pose captured. I liked the way the trunk is half emerged in water. There is slight space after the tree on the left which is a bit distracting. You can crop a bit to remove it and frame with the tree from the left. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

It is tough to get a lower angle in this place due to the steep embankment. It is good that you have used f9 for a higher depth of field. Often one finds elephants inside this pool and not in others. Elephants get a variety of weeds to feed in this place, which are absent in other man-made water holes. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
