They went to the Australian Outback Spectacular on Saturday night. Everyone came home with a hat.

I think just about everyone knows Steve Irwin, " The Crocodile Hunter " He died today while filming on the Great Barrier Reef when a Stingray tail pierced his chest.

Had to think of an old record at once, when I saw this: 'Sweetheart of the rodeo'. Don´t know why. Wonderful portrait, Laine. gmv

Steve's adventures and exploration will be missed around the world. May he rest peacefully in that great wilderness beyond.

Lovely portrait Laine.
Re Steve, a great guy died doing what he loved,if you go, what better way.
Sincere condolances to his wife and family.
John Beck04-Sep-2006 14:19
A beautiful portrait.

And your news about "The Crocodile Hunter" is really bad news. I always enjoyed his program.
CIS04-Sep-2006 13:40
Oh NO...I enjoyed him and his show tremendously. So terribly sad to hear about his death!!!
Beautiful shot of an Aussie girl in deep thought.

Great portrait

Beautiful capture, excellent work in B&W.
Re. Steve Irwin - my kids and I just loved his programs on Animal Planet and Discovery channels. Were very moved when I read in the news today. It's a great loss and I still think it was His destiny. He loved what he was doing, always.
Guest 04-Sep-2006 12:03
Excellent! Love the b&w effect Laine. Beautiful young lady!
Sad news about Steve, he died doing what he loved.......let me go with a camera in my hand.
petesie04-Sep-2006 11:43
A wonderful portrait, Grandma. I love the hat and the lighting makes it even more special. I just turned on my local news and they were reporting the story of Steve's death. How sad for his wife and children...he always fascinated me.
Guest 04-Sep-2006 11:05
I have no TV, and I still know the guy, to tell you how famous he was. That's a way to be spectacular until the last minute.
Superb portrait, with a somptuous background.
Yvonne04-Sep-2006 10:35
Gorgeous shot Laine! Dick went to the Outback Spectacular when we were in Q'land
and LOVED it - he has a hat too! Sorry about Steve - we did a detour past his
place when we travelled up the Bruce Highway and had a 70-k bumper to bumper
detour around a fatal accident. Feel for his wife and children...he's only the age
of our eldest daughter...
Hans Meerbeek04-Sep-2006 09:02
Excellent portrait!
Eckhart Derschmidt04-Sep-2006 08:59
Lovely portrait! Wearing a hat has become quite outfashioned in recent years (these 50ies movies, in which everyone wore a hat look quite strange to us now, don't they?), but probably in the Outback, one would not survive without one.... Re. Steve Irwin I can only second Jannick - what a way to die for a man like him.
Silvia Roitman04-Sep-2006 08:59
nice portreit!
Christin Tröger04-Sep-2006 08:49
Wonderful portrait.
Jannik Lindquist04-Sep-2006 08:45
That's one very stylish - and pretty - young woman! Yes, may Steve Irwin rest in peace. What a way to go for a man like him! On a mature, rational level I never liked him - but on a boyish "I love dangerous animals"-level I always found his shows very captivating :-)
