Welcome Back! I like this one. Has a fine art feel to it. You can just see enough of the eye to make it work. Plenty of space for the elephant to look into. Good luck at new job.

Hi Rachel, I would like to see the colour version too for comparison, as the conversion sadly isn't really grabbing me. The ear I find being lighter & vertical cuts the head in two and I would expect the bulge above the eye to be tonally as dark, not lighter being on the same plane of focus???? I like the eye being open and the space to the LHS.

I like it...Especially the negative space open the left. Only thing I would do is add more contrast and much for my personal taste. But it's 'Personal'!!!

Thanks John and Steve. Steve , as with most of my b&w these days, I have not processed this in color.
Thanks again,

Hi Dumay - We were posting at the same time. Thanks, I purposely kept contrast a bit lower to lean towards a traditional high key frame. But yes, I can see a version with more contrast too.
Thanks,
Rachel

Hi Rachel ... sorry to hear you are no longer one of the mods , but congrats to the new job . Hope you become successful with it .
Regarding the image ... i like this very much !!!!
Different view and thinking ... !!!! I would just see the tonality different from my POV , more tonal depth across the range .
The visible eye is a real bummer , love it.
