WIW - Inspired by Nature Day 1 (Elephants)

(For my YLF Blog)

I'm participating in the "Picture Perfect Challenge: Inspired by Nature." The first photo is African elephants at twilight, Chobe National Park, Botswana (see below).

My interpretation of this photo is rather straight forward, but I don't see how you could go wrong here, because there are so many wonderful elements in this photo.

Colors: Shades of pink, brown and silver

Figures: Elephant earrings!

Textures: Shoes and "pebbled" silver bag reminded me of elephant skin...in a completely romanticized way--but the photo is rather romantic in feeling, don't you think?

Light: Dark colors that absorb light (skirt and blouse) offset by a reflective surface (bag=moon)

"Haziness" provided by silk/mohair shawl I knit last year.

    You did good! I love your saucy posing! Lovin' the moon bag and hazy shawl. I can never do these challenges because I don't have the right colors in my wardrobe, argh! But that top is perfect. And who has elephant earrings? You are prepared for any fashion challenge!
