Golden Eye
Walking passed the area where the elephants are kept at the Cleveland Zoo I noticed the grass reeds glowing in the light. I knew I had to use them in the composition of an image. Luckily the elephant was in a position that I could set this shot up. I decided to make the grass the detailed portion of the image and blur the elephants eye in the background rather than making it the main attraction.

Elephants are special......and I use to love drawing them with that wonderful leathery skin........I really like this composition, the grasses look great catching the light against that great Elephant.

great idea and quick thinking to focus on the sunkissed grass rather than the eye – it makes the shot for me! it's like a visual of the wistful thoughts of an ancient savanna-born elephant longing to go home and feel the warm grass brush against his aging legs. scatterlings of africa… a very moving portrait indeed! greetings, sabine.Jörg Klüber 03/10/2012 14:52
A really good one!Excellent Ken!
