Jagdeep - just exquisite detail in this fellow. The skin, tusk scoring, and the fine hairs are just amazing. This comp is interesting - I’d love to see more of the elephant, if you didn’t originally compose it like this.
Another marvelous elephant image!

I echo @Sandy_Richards-Brown comments, except I do like the composition as presented. Love the sharpness of the foreground grass and the nice background. Fantastic shot. One tiny nit:There is a dark line parallel to the mouth opposite the top of the tusk. Not sure what it is.

Thanks friends !
@Sandy_Richards-Brown this is a full frame image.
@Jim_Gavin that could be a tiny straw.

When an elephant decides to come close, it’s such a great opportunity to zoom in on the details. Nice one, Jagdeep!
Grt, Ingrid.
