A warm bonfire in the park of Planckendael (see map).

Camp fire always attracts people arround to get and share warm feelings.

A young lion looking in the sky some birds passing by.
In this position its head and eyes are well visible.

Taken in the Zoo of Planckendael (see map) and just cropped a bit so that only "natural" elements are visible in the background.

Since the sky was uniform grey/cloudy, uniform/basic lighting and high iso was used.

Under a very cloudy sky, this owl was anyway well lighted against a dark background while posing on its branch, inside its aviary, at the Zoo of Planckendael (see map).

Taken at 3200 iso and slightly cropped + slight contrast increase.

This statue of Folon is in the park of the castle of La Hulpe (see map).
I adjusted the composition to have the background letting believe that it is isolated in the wood while it is not.

Cropped and saturation increased.

The sun welcoming a new day on a beach of Barcelona (see map).
Be 2012 a good year for all of you.
