Hey supergold, that's a neat picture--and I thought my grey eyelashes were long!
That's really a sharp and clear picture. The color of the eye make the center stand out-looks good. Job well done.

This is a great capture as there is barely opportunity to see close-up elephant eye.
The elephant always looks so happy, but seeing his eyes, it may not be true.
The details in this photo are quite amazing.
Thank you for sharing.

Wow, look at those eye lashes! They have such an intense stare with those brown eyes. Terrific close up Fred showing great detail and textures, excellent techs all around;)

Beautiful and very interesting shot. I love the close up of this magnificent creatures eye. It looks like tear stains running down her face. I hope it is from wind and not from saddness. This is a very moving piece. Well done. Jan

I like the details of this small fraction of this elephant and the fact that with less than .10% of the animal shown, we all recognize what it is. The eyelashes, the glisten of the eyes and the dry thick wrinkles of the skin is all in very clear well focused detail.

Great capture. Have never been close enough to an elephant to see the details in the skin or really how small the eyes are. Very interesting. Good color, well framed.
