it's nice andrew.....maybe if it was possible to get a bit more eye involved it might have been stronger? maybe if it wasn't eating the branch too.

Hi Andrew
Firstly you have posted this in Adobe RGB so the colour looks a bit flat, I viewed it in Photoshop and it looks much better with the correct colour profile.
Overall I like the composition, the light and the detail in the skin. The eye is slightly lost in this shot though and I feel it is the key to making this a strong image. Maybe a slight head turn to give better eye contact would have helped (but not much use if the elephant decides not to oblige...)

I bet this works well in black and white too.
Nice shot all the same

I like the creativity in the pic, it's quite effectful
