Description

Finalist
I have entered shots of this silo in the children's petting area of the Omaha Doorly Zoo before. I just love the simplicity of the patterns and lines of the structure with the natural forms of the doves -- and the colors can't be beat :)
Here are two versions of a previous entry -- color and black and white.
Warm Winter Day, B&W
Warm Winter Day
Already a finalist, this was resubmitted June 13, 2010 by mistake -- I meant to try Warm Winter Day again.
