Description

Sunday I was privileged to observe a photo shoot at the Philadelphia Zoo for a friend's blog. You know the friend but the blog entry hasn't been posted yet so I can't divulge. While there, I persuaded this Rhino to sit for a portrait--sort of. I think this is the rhino's adorable side!
-----
This "painting" is the continuation of my experimentation with the new Topaz "Impression" plug-in. Jury is still out.
---
Does anyone who has visited this zoo agree with me that the animals are way too confined?

I might possibly be the Rhino's best side Michelle...LOL! I am not a fan of caged animals, we have the Western Plains Zoo half a days drive west of us, the animals roam the countryside more or less at their leisure! I must get back there one of these days! #11142070
