BIG AL (Aldabra Tortoise) 2005 (Sold)

Big Al is the name of the Aldabra Tortoise at the Alexandria, Louisiana, Zoo. The directors wanted a portrait of the tortoise to auction off at their Safari Night. Voila le resultat! Does it look like him? Only his mother knows for sure.

Amazing Range Masterful amalgam of ingenious layout, warm atmospherics and a fluid efficiency in a scene that tantalize deliciously with your consummate skill. The details are amazing & really striking,

I love Big Al. Fun perspective gives Al equal footing, very cool use of color, too.
