To create an aura of softness, I used a glamour effect post processing as part of my portrait photography learning process. This photo of my co-office mate while she was engrossed viewing my photostream inside my office.

The view above was as incredible as the view over the mountains. It was hard choosing which shot to take.
R1HDR rendered photo of Austin enjoying the iTunes Visualizer at my desk.
Song was: "Music Kills Me" by Rinocerose.
Again, don't think HDR does much to the photo, but using it only to get all the light into the picture from the background.
I will be off Flickr for the next week or so as I am off to see my dear friend, Monique www.flickr.com/photos/rockinmonique. See you when I return!
Thank you in advance for your support, and for your wonderful comments and faves :)
If you look at this tiger's stripes/lines, they're almost mesmerizing! Don't look too long! ...kinda scary! This tiger was photographed at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium located in Tacoma, Washington. Hope you enjoy!

For my Flickr friends who fly, this must seem ordinary, but I was mesmerized by the changing view of clouds. Our flight was from St. John's to Edmonton; in this photo, we were over the eastern shore of James Bay at 36,000 feet.

This image of Plains (Burchell's) zebras was captured in the wild at Sunset Dam in the Kruger National Park.
Interesting info:
According to National Geographic: "No animal has a more distinctive coat than the zebra. Each animal's stripes are as unique as fingerprints—no two are exactly alike—although each of the three species has its own general pattern.
Why do zebras have stripes at all? Scientists aren't sure, but many theories center on their utility as some form of camouflage. The patterns may make it difficult for predators to identify a single animal from a running herd and distort distance at dawn and dusk. Or they may dissuade insects that recognize only large areas of single-colored fur or act as a kind of natural sunscreen. Because of their uniqueness, stripes may also help zebras recognize one another.
Zebras are social animals that spend time in herds. They graze together, primarily on grass, and even groom one another.
Plains (Burchell's) zebras are the most common species. They live in small family groups consisting of a male (stallion), several females, and their young. These units may combine with others to form awe-inspiring herds thousands of head strong, but family members will remain close within the herd.
Zebras must be constantly wary of lions and hyenas. A herd has many eyes alert to danger. If an animal is attacked, its family will come to its defense, circling the wounded zebra and attempting to drive off predators."
This was at the start of a 12km hike I did around the lakes of Glendalough. We have been lucky to have had some great weather of late and I have taken full advantage of it with lots of long walks.I also saw the Wicklow mountain rescue team coming to the aid of a young lady who hurt her leg on the way down, fantastic job they did getting her down the valley.
I know I have been posting a lot of photos of this particular Cat, but I just can't help it, she is very beautiful and expressive :) Cheers everyone.

Went out on a Snowy Owl photo hunt today and found two. This one, perched high atop a power line, gave me a good looking over and absolutely mesmerized me with those amazing yellow eyes.
