Good sharpness and lighting is very well done. Clarity is perfect and it is just overall a great picture. It seems like I can just lean through the computer and touch it.
Thanks for sharing,

Now with a bit (or a lot) of wrinkle cream, that face could be softer :-).

Hi Rob,

Good shot and you got close well to the elephant with the help of those big lens. Was the picture cropped or the picture was orginaly like this? If was cropped then i would have prefered the complete view of the mouth from lower which looks like a little bit cropped.

But love the details. Well done and TFS.

Cheers,

Gee Rob this is so nice. Good closeup and only 50 mm lens is great work. Are you going to buy that Sigma you ytalked about in last email? (looked fine to me after reading the specs) TFS

Nice pachiderm! When we went to the Calgary Zoo, they were rebuilding the Elephant compond, so couldn't get good pictures, whereas in Vienna, I only took video (poor still quality).
This is a very good closeup with lots of sharpness and details.

Same comment as last photo ..... :-)

Je had de slurf even uit het frame moeten laten steken.

Mooie plaat met mooie kleuren. Ik kan de huid bijna voelen !

Humiliating to photograph poor animals in the captivity. Who are you? suffering is entertaining you different?

Great capture. I like the contrast the green plant in his mouth creates with the dull grey of the elaphant.

Hi Rob,
A nice profile shot of this prehistoric-looking elephant, massive in size, and yet very gentle-looking. Great color and detail, and a nice memento from a great day.
All the best,

Nicely cropped/composed Rob. Good colour and lovely detail in that lined face. Judging by the size of the tusk only a youngster too. TFS,
