This image has been processed in a normal way, but still looks very different. It surprised me, please tell me if it surprises you too.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views !

I like the way the elephant is almost totally covered in wet mud, which brings out the texture of the skin in great detail.

Jagdeep, it looks amazingly sharp! I do like the straight on pose. Colors a very good as is the details. Thanks for sharing.

nice wet look here.
I might want to rotate it slightly CCW as the ellie seems to be "leaning"?

Also try opening up the shadowed side just a bit for more detail?

What surprised you Jagdeep? I think it looks great and certainly not as an image that has been processed in a certain way to obtain that look. A solid image!

Hey Japdeep, I like this shot - I agree about the slight rotation, but otherwise, a beautiful wet elephant! What surprised you exactly?

Thanks friends!
Actually when I saw the raw file, it was very dull n drab, so never thought, it would develop into a 'solid' image, as Vincent called it.
