The Serengeti

San Diego Wild Animal Park

I thought the colors the camera captured in this scene were too rich. I wanted to convey a more muted feeling of heat and dryness, so I toned it down considerably.

I’ve been working on composition and framing (inside the subject area) for class. The Wild Animal Park was a good place to practice. I have a small gallery ** here. **

I’m particularly proud of Sunday’s Peso as shown below:



other sizes: small medium large original auto

I'm the minority or maybe the only one who thinks so, but the image seems a little dry......like I want to get out crayons and color it.....it seems a cross between not quiet b&w and not quiet color.......sorry, jmho.

Excellent work, Robin. I like the muted tones in this photo. Very fitting! vote
