Overall, love this. Makes me think how cool that elephant skin would be as a background for a portrait. I wish the eye were a little more clear (the elephant's), but nice work and the colors are great!
Love the tender moment of affection captured here between this woman and the elephant. Lighting is great - shows off great details from the skin texture of the elephant to the wisps of hair that have worked free from her braid. Only one small cbservation- her hair has some blueish tones in it. I can't really tell if that is processing or if it occurs naturally as that I have heard that deep black hair can give off a blue sheen like that with the right light.
I wish the woman weren't there.... It's a good image, but if you'd cropped her out... maybe with a square crop of the left side, it would be magnificent for this challenge topic, IMHO.
