A shoe and a footstep

Uploaded: October 20, 2007

Description

In September 2005 I visited Rotterdam Zoo. In the elephants' house, I saw elephants' footsteps on the concrete (?) floor. So I took my shoe off to compare how much larger was an elephant's foot compared to mine.

I cropped and softened the photo a bit and made slight changes in image balance.

What a unique image! I love the perspective and the leaf seems to add a third layer for comparision. Well seen. #4955717

How very imaginative of you Tiia! Terrific work! #4955845

Thanks!

I just walked into the Elephants' House and saw the footprint... I didn't add the leaf or the water, they were already there. The only thing I added was my shoe.
