Hello Katie -- That is a very artistic perspective . i liked the way you have captured the image with the close eye lid and muddy texture . The comp works for me but i feel it lacks some punch in midtones . TFS !

Hi Katie , you did well with the textures , but sadly somehow this frame does not grab me
.I just find the placement of the closed eye a bit unfortunate in the LLC , even if it is placed in the rule of thirds .
The conversion does look ok to me , but i am not that fuzzed about the toning .
Hope you do not mind my honest comment .

On the contrary, Andreas; while its nice to know your work speaks to others as it does to you what I'm most wanting here is perspective, inspiration and helpful commentary. So I thank you for taking the time and thoughtfulness to give me honest feedback. Actually, I was somewhat troubled with that eye but I didn't leave myself any room on the bottom. I just looked at it again and wonder if taking some off the top would improve it, WDYT?

I have looked carefully at your image and thought about the comments. I think since the eye is closed and looking down, it would be nice to have the eye in the upper right corner looking down to the lower left corner. That would give the viewer's eyes someplace to go. Right now, the viewer focuses on the eye and stays in the lower third of the image, which makes this feel tight. Even though there is texture in the remainder of the image, there is nothing in those areas that draw attention. I do like this creative approach and the monotone processing.

Hello what said Nancy is right.
I think this creative situation could be better with the eye open
I am returned now from Hwange and as informed Katied there are hundred and hundred of elephants...but is very difficult take shoots out of the order.
I think could be fine b/n
