Hi Mike,
Great! I really like the POV. Good use of the plant in the foreground making the elephant peer through it. Wonderful eye contact. Nice focus and DOF. Good use of B&W, it works well with this photo. I am also interested to see what the colour version looks like.

Hi Mike,
Very creative work IMHO. An excellent compostion with the B&W very effective here. It brings out all the textures, tones, and details that only this medium can :)
Very well done. Excellent!

I like B&W, but I have also posted shots around on other sites and have found that folks do not prefer their animals in B&W. I wonder why, as you stated, the detail show up so much better. Nice shot.

Hi Mike! B&W so fitting--not only detail, but the sadness in it's eye reflects the stresses of the whole elephant world! Marvellous! Linda

Hi Mike, nice shot. I like the "essence" of elephant here - it works well. Good composition and the B&W suits this well. Well done!

I emailed you a couple of days back, did you get it?

Hi Mike,
This one stands out in your gallery. Probably because its the only B/W I see. I really like the composition. A little bit of a I spy you kinda photo. Some of the lighter spots are a bit to bright to my tast, but the overall quality is superb.
TFS,
