This impressive close-up photo shows the unrivalled beauty and depth of an elephant's gaze. The detailed structure of its skin, characterised by fine cracks and deep wrinkles, tells of the time that has passed and of the resilience that characterises these majestic animals. The focus of the picture is the eye, which is framed by long eyelashes and radiates a calm, almost meditative serenity. It conveys the impression of decades of experience, wisdom and quiet strength. The skin looks like a living map on which the history of this animal can be seen - a history of adaptation, survival and connection with its environment. The few green leaves in the foreground form a vivid contrast to the grey texture of the skin and remind us of how closely elephants are connected to their natural environment. This image invites viewers to pause, feel the powerful presence of the elephant and recognise the deep relationship between nature and animal.
