The skin texture is wonderful. A touch too much contrast for me, the black is just a little too deep at the bottom, but I like the concept and the picture. The light patch top right just has to be there to give context to the elephants head. Why not post in Animals? It is a very good animal shot, you have captured the essence of the elephant rather well.
Hi Chris. thanks for the comment. I have changed it to animals now, wasn't sure weather to put it in animals or textures, i guess it does suit animals better. thanks
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, His eternal power and Godhead;... Rom 1:20
this is absolutely outstanding. i love the textures, and your tight composition is so perfect. i personally love the contrast, i think it is just right to make all the wrinkles stand out even more. excellent work.
