Halo of Light

Sedgwick County Zoo, Wichita Kansas USA

All those white spots are not lens dust or sensor dust. They are bugs flying around the elephant. It's amazing what light will show you at the right angle.

Like the others, I love the picture, but I'm not so sure I wouldn't "photoshop" the bugs out of the picture. To me, just a little distracting.

The lighting adds interest to this.
