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

Nikki, I love all three of these but might actually be the most partial to the tones of the B&W. But all are just wonderful, so well composed and captured! Beautiful work!Tom #8252356
