Posted by Mandy Provan (Johannesburg, South Africa) on 9 May 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
The next few days pics are from a trip I took to the zoo with my boys 2 weeks ago. As you all know people are my speciality so I was really trying to think outside the box and get some cool animal shots. Let me know if you think I was successful.
I hope you enjoy them.
I know there's not much "out of the box" about this picture, I just really liked the reflection cast by the swan in the water and the nice calm feel to the image. Cropped slightly, but otherwise unprocessed.
Thanks so much for your comments - they're always greatly appreciated.

I am away for the next week and have posted till I come back. I hope you enjoy the images!!! I will catch up with all of your blogs when I get back.

i think the framing of the swan by the rocks and leaves is really nice :)

It's gorgeous Mandy, personally I would crop it from the grass in the foreground (I'd crop out everything underneath) the rest is stupendous...well named :)
