Nice capture here, Sanjeev. Looks like you had awesome light. One suggestion would be to clone out that highlight in the background that is protruding out of the ele's forehead.

Hi Sanjeev - No, not too crunchy. Beautiful light and trunk position. Nice detail and textures. I do wish the light was more even across the whole head but we take em as we find em. Agree with Morkel on your pp.

You accomplished your goal. Great light and I'm liking the transition of smooth skin to the radial lines in the ear. Image doesn't look crunchy but it does seem to be a bit grainy in some spots (trunk, temple, top of ear/head)

Hi Sanjeev, like the light on this, but just wish the truck was clear of the light grass, ideal world. Agree on the manipulation in removing the highlight by the forehead. Not 100% sure on the crop, but not sure what other options you have?

Hi Sanjeev very sweet light on this one . Great colors and good tonality . Agree on that light area in front of the forehead but just a minor thing .
Regarding sharpness , it looks good as base , but i understand what Steve C. is talking about .You have in this image , tiny little HL that are causing this grainy /oversharpenend look .Or crunchy what you call it .
I looked on three different screens , my MB pro (no sign ) , latest 27" IMac (looks crunchy) , 30" Quato Color display ,my editing screen (looks more crunchy), so you see it varys.
One thing to avoid this is ,as i said numerous times , split (if possible ) the sharpening layer into a darken and a lighten layer , by reducing the lighten layer you minimize the effect on the HL , or just add a layer mask with the HL selected and invert the layer mask and play with the opacity(density) of the layer mask .

Hi Sanjeev
Sweet light helped you achieve the texture/ stunning contrast, looks like Velvia 50 ISO!
Agree with above comments..

Hello Sanjeev,
Lovely ellie image in golden light, to me not crunchy, but then I do not have those fancy screens Andreas has:) Perhaps a tad over sharpened and easy to check, just back off on sharpening and then compare the two images. Sometimes I make the same mistake, sharpen too much in LR when the image really does not need it, only to re-sharpen in CS6 for web and then realise I have to start all over again...You had good light, appropriate Shutter Speed for the circumstances, perhaps image was sharp enough to begin with? Love it as is, I only wish you had less grass interfering with the subject - but this is nature
Well done Sanjeev, a pleasure to view, TFS!
Kind regards,

I think you might be missing a step in your web sharpening Gabriela if you have to start all over again. You know how to do the 'input' via LR, just check your steps at the end.

Thank you very much Steve. And sorry to hijack your thread, Sanjeev...
Steve, I do my usual adjustments/tweaks
and sharpen in LR then move to CS6, process and save as TIFF. Then I open image, flatten layers, resize, sharpen for web. What I was trying to say is, in the past I sharpened so much in LR that the image -I felt - did not always need re-sharpening for web. In the beginning I sharpened for web anyway, because I thought I had to. I sometimes realised too late that the image was already over sharpened and I did not know how to fix it, so I had to go back to LR and start afresh. I am just more careful these days when sharpening in LR, I really try not to overdo it

You are quite right, you do have to sharpen for web every time, it was the fact you mention that when doing this, if it's too sharp you have to start over again
. `As you said, no need to hi jack this, lets just email as i think you have missed a step.
