Hey Guys.... Well i was blown away when Gary asked me to contribute and choose an image worthy of this prestigious title. After browsing the forums i have come up with an image that captures nature in its purest sense. There is so much character and emotion in this shot and i love to high key back drop almost separating the subject from the real world (or life however it may be real in a ZOO). I love the shaper defined facial features of the mother that then seem to meld away into baby being in a softer focus which again works really well here. The second shot is a ripper too......well done mate!  Drum roll please.......... original thread here (Image taken by devilla101)Dan Last edited by Cre8tivepixels on Wed Sep 10, 2008 3:45 pm, edited 1 time in total.
