Hey is that a moringa leaf on his head? Lovely portrait & details as in the last post as well!

One adjective comes to mind, beautiful. The orange eye and the unexpected green sprig add some serendipitous color and interest to the stunning texture. Nicely done.

I prefer this "zoomed" version. Thanks for the comparison posting.

This one is all about textures and subtle colors Balan. The eye is nice and clear and well placed in the frame. The green leaf is a nice detail, but does compete with the eye for the main focal point of the image, although that is not really a bad thing IMO. Nice work.

This is much better than the previous post, Balan. I would, maybe, selectively brighten the eye a little bit, and also, maybe, just burn the brighter areas of the elephant by about 10-12%.
