The Elephant
Finalist
This is an older capture that I worked up last week as a possible 101 classical titles entry before I decided to go with "Romeo and Juliet". My students and I sing present tense irregular verb conjugations to a number of the selections in Saint-Saëns "Carnival of the Animals" and this is one of them: avoir (to have). Our favorite is "The Lion" (être - to be) because we love to roar out "êêêêttttrrrrreeee! to be!" but I don't have a good lion shot in my archives :)
I cloned out zoo elements such as in-ground posts and a large ball and applied filters in Elements 4 including find edges-multiply.

  I like what you've done here very much, Nikki. Great in black and white to emphasize the textures of his hide.
