Been a while since I listened to Kenny Rogers song...thank you for that throw back in time. This image would make a lovely engraving...two dimensional yet deep in spirit.

A lovely, delicate, evocative image. It's a palimpsest from an ancient Sanskrit manuscript. I can see the elephant and then hints of other animals in the bush. A running person on the left, a pint of Ben & Jerry's in the center, but I guess part of the point is to unshackle the imagination. The foliage looks like it's been pressed between panes of glass. I can almost hear a breathy flute in the background. Beautiful and rewarding. The title is great.

Awwww, you've been peeking at something of mine, and you have thoroughly thrashed me at my own game. That's nearly an elephant ... Is it? It feels like an elephant, although the uncertainty about that question is marvellous to me. It is, it isn't, it is, it must be; the real answer doesn't matter. This is a beautiful, mystical photograph, perfectly poised on the knife edge between the spiritual and the corporeal. Had I produced this photograph, I'd have been thrilled and alas, surprised, and very happy. That a fellow photographer created it in this challenge makes me happier still. It's a beautiful thing. Thank you.

very good fit for the challenge! Love the tones, ambiguity, and the mysterious creature in the back

what a great tribute to Ubique. The elephant in the bush, the processing, the title is brilliant. Well done!

I nearly didn't spot that elephant...a play on words with one of Paul's past images. A very clever image. Already voted.

Comment by Paul:
Extraordinary image with a perfect title. Great foreground, brilliantly chosen texture and a shadowy betrunked blur that is a marvel to behold.

Like a screen print as photo - the longer I look, the more I am powerless to resist its charm.

Bumping to a 10 - just for making me feel sentimental.

this is a dream of a shadow of a ubique elephant photo, set to country music.

I like the texture and scene. I don't like the monster like figure that distracts.
