| this is one of those images that, if you really bother to look at it, will stick with you. the colors and the subject are wonderful, but then there's that damn fence. i love zoos, and all that they do, but every now and then, don't you just wish we didn't need them? excellent capture here, even if disturbing. i hope this isn't getting overlooked in this super-sized challenge, and that viewers are giving this the time necessary to appreciate it. thanks for sharing. good luck with this, and all the challenges yet to come! |

Back to comment..
There are two ways to look at this. I would prefer to see the elephant without the fence, with more detail and with softer, more diffused light so the detail in the skin is not washed out. The fence does of course reflect that it is indeed a captive and brings an emotional response, but for me I would even then like to see better light and maybe a different angle. |

| I would like this so much better if the line didn't cut cross the elephant's eye.... (sorry, major pet peeve of mine is the either not see the eye, or have something intrude on it) |

| NIce clean focus and color on the elephant. I'd like to see what this photo would look like with a closer crop to take out the posts (or half the posts on each side of the picture. |

| Nice colors. The fencing unfortunately takes a lot of impact away from this photo. |

| Image is nice and sharp...good focus. A tighter crop would have brought more detail of the elephant and still support your title. Try cropping it midway between his front and hind legs to just right of his trunk. Top just above his head and bottom just underneath his trunk. I saved and cropped it this way and was more appealing to my tastes. Just a thought. Good luck. |

| I think this might work a little better with a closer crop, the sunlight is also a little harsh - makes the image look a little washed out, you might want to bump the contrast to compensate for that. On the bright side, I you've captured a great moment - he looks suitably depressed which fits your title perfectly. |
