    Very Creative and well balanced image. I like it a lot. Good example of making the best out of not the best light. It holds you attention.

    A most unusual view that made me think. I like the interplay of the shadows, light and body parts. The light on the tusk works very well. If one could have choreographed the light, it would have been nice to have some on the eye, more on the trunk and less on the ground.

    A very interesting shot, Peter.
    It won't be everyone's cuppa...though I do like it, I feel it could have been stronger were it for a more fortuitous fall of light (as Nancy pointed out).
