Nicely done tribute. We were just there and the whole atmosphere of the zoo radiates his philosophy of care and respect for animals.

I think this is your best shot of this series. It has all the emotions that one is looking for in a tribute photo - the writings, the dates of birth and death, and the pens telling you it's not over, that there is much to be written and done in his name. Beautifully composed!

The lines of people paying tribute, the flowers lying in tribute! This is a very emotion filled shot. Technically, I would have tried for the 2 flags to have been complete and not cut off.

I'll agree with the previous comments that call this a 'record shot', but isn't that exactly what you were looking for and attempting to capture? Well done...

You can certainly see a very lovd and spoiled dog in this capture! The red floor really works with her fur color and her "clothes"!

The long shadows is just one of the captivating feelings for this shot. The texture of the rope and wood are perfect! The colors and lighting couldn't be any better...

Hmmm... my first thought when I looked at this was that it's so grainy! Reading your comments that it was an outtake for the Grain/Noise challenge.... lol

I like the natural progression across the photo, the dock is taking my eyes right out to the boats. While it might be a little dark, I agree with the previous comments that say it has a timeless feel to it!

This has a great 3D feel to it. I'm finding myself going back to the image looking for more masks! Beautiful textures and lighting... :)

I agree with pineapple, this is a very elegant shot. I enjoy how it is filled to the left and I'm naturally drawn across the photo to the right where the sand has such great texture!
