Marvelous detail on the trunk and face. I love how he fills the frame and how his trunk is curled around his lower tusk. B/W also works really well here.

A nice elephant portrait. This elephant has a story to tell, and I am willing to listen.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love it! I love how you were able to make it such a large close-up and still get his whole trunk in. Any elephant done well will always get a high score from me :)
