Great detail shot. There is an amazing amount of texture in this shot, and whats more amazing is that the emotion comes through just as strongly. Good luck this week.

Elephants can be so difficult to post-process in an interesting manner other than the usual black & white.
Is this the Midnight Sepia action? Not sure if I like it or not, but the eye sure could stand to be lightened up a bit in my opinion.

Quite a few elephant pics in the challenge so far. The processing appears to be adding an element of abstractness which highlights the shapes and composition in this one. The curious shades of greens and oranges work nicely too to provide opposing corners... I can see why you chose this for your best. As I write this, it's been growing on me. An excellent job at bringing a rather medium picture into a new dimension. one of few tens so far.

I like it, but I don't like the edit/noise reduction

I really love this. Normally, I don't care for out-of-the-ordinary processing on animals -- or even scenery for that matter, but for some reason, it really works here. It enhances that old worn-out texture. And its really hard for me not to love elephant pictures anyway :) Great job!

Interesting abstract.

Oh my goodness!! What fantastic detail you have captured here. The thumbnail of this image does not do it justice at all! The one thing that would make it perfect would be if the elephants eye was open! Well done!
