The Resting Place

Finalist
I took this in the petting area at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. The sign by this doorway tells visitors that this area is where the animals can go when they need to get away from it all and asks that they respect that space and not go in it. Personally, I could use a space like that more than once some days :)
Colors adjusted in PSE6. buZZ filter on the building, erased from the stones, doorway and goat; Topaz Adjust, low opacity, on the goat.
