Very Nice Rolland
I would however bring the actual elephant layer to the front.
Then duplicate the layer, contrast it to make it pop and place it over the elephant and adjust the opacity until it highlights the strength of the creature. Mask out all the rest of that layer to leave the rest of your image as is
The rest of it I love, congrats

Thanks HQ...

I did that at first but I didn't like it for a number of reasons... i.e., IQ of that layer was quite poor and OOF, etc...so this worked better for what I envisioned

My vision was.. As I had it played out that when he first saw the elephant...this is what the elephant SEES itself doing...CHARGE!!!

It's the Elephant's PERSPECTIVE not the hunter's...

That's what I had envisioned when I first began my original post...

Thank you!!!

Sure, here are the images I selected for comparison

I draw a line in what I create in PS...No trash...hehehe

Personally, I don't like creating images that aren't REAL, so to speak...but I often use a SEQUENCE of images to create one TASTEFUL DRAMATIC IMAGE as it relates to the actual moment...

My artistic goal is to create dramatic images for my fellow hunters...something that will provide a QUALITY lasting memory for them and their families!

If anyone has a project they'd like me to work on....give me a PM and we can discuss the details and prices!
