HI Johan,
I like the wrinkles and the dry mud on the skin.
The beam of light on the top of the elephants head is a little distracting.
I would love to see a shot even closer to the eye where it is really wrinkly, but I don't think I would like to get that close.
Nice work
:)

Hello Johan, this is a splendid detail you show us here. A great POV, I would shift it a bit left and down to avoid the overburning. Anyway, this picture makes the viewer to wonder what kind of thoughts pass through the brain of that animal. TFS! Michal

Mooie uitsnede Johan,
mooie lijnen, het is zeker te zien dat deze erg oud is. Maar hij boft dan zeker nog. Goede foto, uitstekend werk.

Good close-up Johan. Often people go for a fully framed head, but I think compositions like this one is a lot more interesting. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

The details are very well seen, Johan. Excellent sharpness and I like the skin texture of this elephant. Nice work.

Dear old elephant, so wrinkled and BIG! They are such amazing creatures, all that largeness and such tiny eyes. Well composed Johan, nicely cropped. Well done.
