Elephants Parts (The Hard Stare)

Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 12 August 2008 in Animal & Insect.

The next set of images are all elephant parts. They are all part of a small herd of Asian Elephants, and I must say, they were most obliging in being photographed, despite my intrusion.

I'm sorry to say that I can't leave comments today as I'm working away. I will catch up with AM3 soon as I can

A great and impressive detail. I can also see like an abstract & colorful painting.

The eye is impressive, but the detailing of the skin is equally interesting to see. This is a good document considering that many animals will become extinct.

Wonderful shot. The composition/cropping is splendid.

The eye seems quite small for such a monster. It is said that their ability of view is poor but they can ear very well. Some nice complementary colors.
