Thanks Ganesh! I think it works well, I was thinking it may spoil the balance of the image.
Thanks Nilanjan da! You are spot on with your observation. Its my mistake. Actually the trunk of the elephant and the small bush in the middle were almost in the same tonal range, when I was converting the color image to Monochrome the details on the trunk was getting lost. To avoid that I did selective processing of the small bush separately and then elephant and rest of the tree. While doing so I missed out to match the background. These sort of mistakes are crimes.
Thanks a lot once again
Thanks Prithvi:) I agree with you on including the entire tree.
regards,
Prashanth
