This image was converted to monochrome, for visual impact. It was also under exposed to simulate nighttime.

This gentile giant looked a tad on the sad side, like he needed a little tender loving care. Mr. lonely is a resident of The Bronx Zoo, in New York. He was painted with a Nikon D300s, using a Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens, with a Nikkor 1.4 T/C.

Gus, what a wonderful image. He looks so sad and your treatment expresses it so well. I'd love a crop right
above the dark spot to the left of his eye also. Elephants are so human-like which you can see in his eye and
his posture.
