Taken at the San Antonio Zoo. I noticed after submitting this that there's a white speck in the top right corner. I may decide to resubmit someday... :)

The "soft" effect heightens the colors and composition, Nancy, and the long reflection is wonderful as well! Great job on this image!!Mary K. Robison October 03, 2004
Nancy, this is a glowing beauty, and the effect works wonderfully with it. #820409Nancy Grace Chen October 05, 2004
