Gentle Paws*
by Casey Clausen

Como Park Zoo in Saint Paul, Minnesota

Hello, I prefer my picture "Ghost of Man," but liked that this is filled with just jungle and concrete. This picture was taken through glass, but I do not see any reflections from light thankfully. I only adjusted the contrast slightly. Thanks for looking at my pictures!

Wonderfully imaginative! I'm not a cat-pic lover in the least but this represents the challenge theme in so many ways! The loudest message to me anyways is that it's not just people who often find life to be harsh in the big city. All living things are prone to experiencing the hard realities. Great image!

What a great perspective! I love the simplicity of this -- very effective. Helen

This and "Ghost of Man" are my first submissions to this site, and thus, did not work out quite as I wanted as far as titling. I prefer the title of this piece to be "Gentle Paws." It was taken in Saint Paul, MN. Upon hearing the title of this challenge, I immediately thought of the zoo, and so have posted two such examples. Please critque my photos as I am just starting out with my first SLR and want to improve. Thank you Casey Clausen
