Great close up of the sad eye of this elephant Michelle. I really hate elephants being out of their natural wild environment and purely there for the entertainment of us humans. I think this capture says it all. #10067309David Phalen March 30, 2012
You certainly are having some fun adventures.:) Excellent animal portrait with outstanding tones and textures!! #10067539John Connolly March 30, 2012

That eye really draws you in...great comp and wonderful detail, Michelle!! #10068140Rona L. Schwarz March 30, 2012
I love both of these, Michelle! Great shot of Beulah - somehow elephant's eyes are always fascinating (to me anyway). This one is very expressive and very wrinkled! You are so lucky to be working with Bill- he sounds like a terrific guy - and you are having some wonderful adventures! #10068222Neal D. Hatcher March 31, 2012

Beautiful capture and presentation Michelle. #10069141Chris Ebben March 31, 2012
How lucky to kiss an elephant!! I have ridden on one at the Taronga Zoo, Sydney, when I was a child, I don't think they have thosse rides any more. It is so sad that they are taken from their homes & locked up. It is so sad we do such awful things to animals, I bet to shut-up now!! A beautiful image to remember such a fantastic event in your life=^..^= #10069178Thomas E. Hinds March 31, 2012
Wonderful story, beautiful image, Michelle! Such a fantastic creature and the texture and character is captured here so very well. My heart goes out to elephants everywhere. I fear us humans fail to understand them in many fundamental ways. To behold their beauty is a beginning (each time we see one).
