One of my favorites of the challenge. What I like best is the way you captured the unique tones of his skin. The different shades of orange, grey and brown are fascinating. I also like the symmetry of the shot and the depth your lighting successfully creates. Good luck. I can't vote but I give it a 10.

I really love this. You almost don't know its an elephant, but the lighting and composition are magnificent. The details captured really make this shot, down to the hair and dirt on his face.

This is a great subject. Excellent detail, and I love the color tones. I do wonder if you took shots from other angles and settled in on this as a final choice. The crop is a little tight for my taste, I'd like to see more of this photogenic creature in the shot. I don't like the tiny tan key-line border on this because it almost looks like a bad crop at a glance. all-in-all - great shot - 9

Great shot - he/she looks very deep and thoughtful. It's the sign of good shot when you think about the subject like that. Good textures and lighting - one of the better ones and a favourite of mine in this challenge. [9]
