A Holiday Wish 2010

for the Entire Year

I admit that this image is a composite of two of my original photographs.
The Polar Bear is from the Arctic
The Penguin is from Antarctica.

In the real world, these two wild creatures would never be found together in Nature. They come from opposite sides of the world. And if they were together, the Polar Bear probably would eat the Penguin.

Nevertheless, Disney and Coco Cola have the right idea in fantasizing a world where all blends together - a world in which Polar Bears do have Penguins as buddies and vice versa. A perfect world would be one in which everything (and everyone) could live together in harmony. Meanwhile, we can all dream. We all SHOULD dream. Dreams are the first step in making my holiday wish closer to becoming a reality.

He went that way... Great idea for a composite. The details in each animal are fantastic. Not easy to do for white tones. V

Guest 22-Dec-2010 07:55
Great image Liz.. extremely well done. V
Karen Moen22-Dec-2010 07:12
Very well done! The sentiment is sorely needed in our world. It is a good thing that people don't have polar bears for pets or they might release them in Antartica like the pythons that have been released in Florida! Voted.
