Photomanipulation nominee

In my pictures animals seem to be liberated of the artificial ark of the zoo or of the stables, which partly gives us a good conscience regarding the more and more growing destruction of the natural habitat of the animals by the human kind.

This way the virtually liberated animals in my pictures are occupying a strange nature as a matter of course.

I would like that viewers are in raptures about my pictures, that is why the animals, even if they are gregarious animals, are staying alone in front of the camera, an individual with name and origin.
