Thank you Eugenio!! #7906009frank w. degenhardt September 01, 2009
Kathleen- Oh my goodness girl. As soon as I opened your gallary this one just begged me to comment on it. A favorite of mine for sure. Not only did you capture the elephants doing their little trick which is just so awesome, but the presentation in black and white is incredible. I love the tones and this reminds me of some artist taking a pencil and drawing this. The details of the elephants are fantastic, love the background. This is more than just a conversion to black and white. What ever you did to get this look is phenominal. A winner for sure.Debra R. Harder September 01, 2009
OH WOW, Kathy! This is something else!! I love your choice of black and white...and your timing is impeccable!!! Great details, lighting, tones, textures and composition. I'm sure we'll see this in the winner's circle. Deb #7907206Ellen Hodges September 01, 2009
