This might have been improved with b/w and some curves to add contrast. As is it's a little flat and though the elephant may have a red tint it is most likely that the white balance was off.

An image that demonstates the subject matter of the challenge in spectacular fashion with excellant DOF and color control. Both a technical and artistic success.

I love elephants. Nice crop. Just needs some more contrast. A little flat looking on my screen.
