This series was submitted before, but some more tweaking was done on levels and unsharp mask. We have resubmitted because of the high response to this image. Shot at Miami Metro Dade Zoo with Canon Digital Rebel, this poster art carries a warm and emotional message.

Arya, Jason, Leanne, Marsha; Thank you guys for your kind words of support! The sequence unfortunately had some grass blades in the foreground, but the message afer having downloaded it at home was quiet emotional. There truly is love amongs the animals. We have two weimaraners that we love more than our neighbors, and some of our family :o)!! We can truly appreciate the way you feel about your pets. Should any of you entertain South Florida in the future, please let us know in advance in hopes of showing you some of our hot spots, etc. Jason, no surf down here, not like Atlantic Beach, N.C., or Oahu where I was stationed in the Coast Guard. Thank you all again! Peace... Dick and Sara (and Tonga and Tiki) #1096172Tonya R. Boles February 11, 2005
Love it. Says so much about the animals... #1097909Linda D. Lester March 14, 2005
This is lovely, it shows how human they are or how human we should be. Great shot #1172248Sara And Dick March 14, 2005
Tonya and Linda, First, we are so sorry we did not respond to you sooner Tonya. Your comment fell through the cracks and for this we apologize. Now, thank you both so much for your kind words! This is one of our favorite composites. It was touching to witness it live, but when we came home and realized we had captured it, it become even more meaningful! If you want a laugh for today visit our image that won first place for Digital Darkroom last month (February). Got an e-mail full from a new member... hope we answered tactfully, respectfully and honestly...Let us know what your thoughts are and did we over react to what we considered a bit aggressive comment. Thanks again!! Dick & Sara #1172302Cindy Cone March 15, 2005

Cindy and Linda, Thanks for your great comments! Sara & I have a lot of fun doing the composites and computer work in general. It's something we like to do when we have a little bit of extra time, which is not often! Thanks again!
