Wisdom

Description

We are currently in Rochester, NY for a mini vacation. Yesterday we took the kids to the Seneca Park Zoo and today we are headed to the Strong Museum of Play.

This is one of the elephants we visited yesterday. I thought all his wrinkles made him look wise. Cropped this just a bit, dodged and burned, and converted to b&w using Bs Vanilla effect.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! I'll catch up on commenting tonight when we get home!!!!

Jeanine- Good day to you. Am so happy that your enjoying your vacation and if this spectacular picture is any indication we are in for some wonderful pictures. I just love the thought that you put into this with the title and then the incredible close up of this magnificant beast. Amazing work with the editing and the black and white conversion is perfect. Lighting and clarity outstanding. Love the look of the eye from the animal that never forgets. The wrinkles and textures speak of wisdom from years of experience. Sensational look.
Outstanding work
Have a wonderful day, take care, please be safe. #6329398
