Well executed and proportionally correct. Beautiful work.

Engraved charging elephants are amateurish and not in my taste.

I guess 2 out of 3 ain't bad... I'll let the engraver know that the results are in.

Very nicely done.

Oh if I could only draw half as good as that, let alone translate that into steel!

Beautifully done. I can smell dust churned up by his feet.

It's beautiful. Engraved/Bulino animals are tough to make look good, but that elephant looks great.

Beautiful! I’m curious; how many hours were spent on this fine piece?

Nicely done..but since our resident MENSA shot it down, I feel uneasy in praising the work...

I didn't want to leave a snarky comment, but I did not understand the "amateurish" description. My first elephant was charging and, in my mind, looked similar to this engraving.

Don't bother trying to figure it out, you would be wasting your time.

Tastes vary. As for mine, it pleases my buds!

As the French say, "There's no arguing taste or color." While I would not want it, the engraving is a work of very fine art.

RIGHT!
I only wish I had the skill it took to do that job! The engraver surely knows what a big African elephant looks like, unlike some of the so-called engraving found on doubles done in INDIA!

Looks like it's unanimous, except for Shootaway. That means it's unanimous.
