Mark - what a great sighting and experience. I like the intimate feel of this and the great detail, including peach fuzz. Again, I might be tempted to go a bit tighter from below as an alternate crop.

Hi Mark,
Prefer this one over the previous post. Both are very nice but this one has direct, intimate eye contact. Seems to have that dazed "what the heck just happened to me, where the heck am I, and what the heck is that guy pointing at me" look. Color and detail look real good.

Hi Mark, for me it's all about the eye and therefore as Rachel mention, personally a tighter crop I feel would also work (3x2 ratio), giving emphasis/strength to the overall composition.

Excellent capture here, the image quality looks really good to me. Would be tempted to go tighter, as suggested by Rachel and Steve..taking away from below and left?
cheers

Thanks Grant, Steve, Brendon, Dan, Rachel and Steve C for your comments.
This is the repost of the image with the crop suggested by Grant, Rachel and Steve. What do you think?
Best wishes and many thanks,
Mark.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your input.
I was just a little conservative in my crop. It will now be interesting to hear the opinions of others.
With many thanks,
Mark.

A very endearing frame, Mark.
I must say I prefer your first repost. Great detail and colour here.

I have to go with the first repost. I really like the folds in the ears. Comp you chose with the young elephant behind a portion of the adult makes this a powerful image.

Mark. Beautiful first repost. I like the eye contact, your composition and sharpness. A special intimate moment. 10/10 mate. Well done.

Mark,
What a wonderful sighting, I too prefer your repost as it makes the clipping of the legs look "intentional"
