Terrific subject matter and a very interesting part of the elephants. I like how the trunk is curled so you can see into the end of it. My eye seems to be attracted to the white on the frame edge left side also.. Thanks for posting here at NSN..

How very cool. I love all the textures in the trunk and you chose a good crop for this. Very unique and fun shot.

Well done Cindy, there are so many parts of Ele's that make good images, especially with their wonderful wrinkly hides!!

Nice one!

An interesting animal abstract. I like the shades of grey and the texture- wish it was a bit sharper.

Turn this horizontal and it would almost pass as part of an insect caterpillar the way its segmented.
