Hi Hussain,

I apologize for not commenting on your image sooner.  The details are wonderful and the composition is different than what is expected with the eye placed in the RH third of the frame.  I believe that this is a good thing and an unusual composition should generate a fair amount of visual interest.  The tusk is hot and if you could selectively reduce the brightness a bit, this will improve the composition. As is, the tusk seems to attract the eye too much.  Otherwise, a nice photo of a very distinguished elephant.................................Jim

Thank you jim for pointing out the processing in the tusk. I have corrected it and reposted the picture. Yes with more details in the tusk the picture looks much better. Thanks once again.
