Superb capture my friend. God bless.

Very nice close-up. We see the pores and the wrinkles beautifully. Reminds me of the rhinoceros on your previous post. Such a small eye, and folds around it limiting its all round vision. You got the eye color, iris and pupil very nicely. I wonder, how far away were you from this fellow to get such a good photo? Keep up the good work. :-)

I wasn't that close. My camera has a 60x zoom & I was at full zoom for this shot.

Superb capture!

You really are an inspiring photographer. I would never have thought to focus on the eye of an animal at the zoo. This has so much more visual interest.

because of my prolonged absence, I'm once again in the position of commenting on "selected" images. It was a real joy to comment on everything of yours for several weeks in a row...But I can't do that now, obviously; though if I can come back several times, I can do more than a few. Also, I know you had a birthday, and if I'd been online---and creating art (I've moved into writing and music since I left, and my art has come to a standstill)---I'd have done a dedi for you. But, I'll do it at a later date instead. (I posted a remembrance for a friend passed, but that's different; nd there was no art there anyway...) But I remembered the date! The 7th, right---a little over a week ago....Well ok, let me get to your work, as I've missed that; and I noticed that you left your wonderful Vienna series behind in this time, and returned to other topics. So here goes...
From the thumbnail I thought, ok, a closeup of an elephant's eye...But, as this is your work, the full view is beautiful. It's not just an animal eye: One, you got the expression, but you also got the massive "spill" of an elephant's skin, as it dips down and surrounds the eye like the waves around an atoll. Wonderful textures and play of light and shadow. And very clear fissures and canyons and such. A terrific topic for a shot, a terrific closeup. The eye is lost in a sea of aged skin. Terrific job with something as simply as an eye. A truly committed shot.
