Congratulations
Elephants skin is very textured, what I love about this is you included a very different texture in placing the ear in the image.

Congrats on your win Larry! I was considering elephant skin for an entry but ultimately went with something else. Darn!! )))

i had been voting on this challenge not realizing it was archival .. then i came to this and checked to see if it was indeed archival .. because getting a photo of an elephant is not something ppl can usually do in a two week period ..
as my reality is lockdown going on for three months btw .. :(

this totally satisfies the challenge . and i love how the hide and the ear are so different in texture but still retain the same colour scheme .. and yes .. doh .. re the colour scheme .. lol .
the ear makes me think of a drone photo shot from high above some arid land ..
this is pretty damn cool .. :)
sorry for the 'french' .. ;)
