Great textural detail. -Gerald

The textures of the skin and eyelashes truly "pop" and the tones are dramatically full-ranging. In fact, this shot is so good that the bit of color becomes a distraction to me - it seems too out-of-context. Otherwise great. -tv

Thank you all for the comments and views. Photgraphing elephants is suprisingly difficult we tend to see them frequently in the game parks but a good shot is elusive. Detail like this sometimes is the best route.

Yes that is their eye colour in fact the "colour" shot is not very different there's a bit of green to the right of the frame.

This is a great image because you have the full tonal range covered in a grey subject. It also has great framing and fine detail. Is the eye really that colour? I've never noticed an elephant's eye.

Perfect example of what I feel Techo wanted the challenge to cover. Excellent detail and texture. Paul
