Parc Omega (http://www.parc-omega.com/)- About an hour from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Sort of a drive through safari kind of deal.


The deer, raccoons, beavers, ibex, boars, and buffalo are all running free in areas, where they expect carrots from the window of your car as you drive through. There are some deer walking around in the foot trail areas too. They also enjoy carrots, and don't mind people petting them. The fox is in a pen near the gift shop, as are some goats. The bears, coyotes, and arctic wolves are fenced off so they can't come up to the road, but they've got big hills to climb, caves to live in, logs across water features, etc.


The sections are divided by a metal mesh bridge that the animals apparently can't cross. There is always a crowd of deer by the entrance, just over the first bridge. I've heard that if you don't feed them, they will damage your car. They're pretty friendly if you are feeding them.

Awesome shot Ben!

I agree, fantastic! Any PP?

Thanks guys. Yep there was a bit of PP for this one. There was actually another car in the grass on the left of frame right up against the one you see that I had to completely clone out to get the symmetry of the photo right. I actually tried hooking it up to my 4WD with a snatch strap but it wouldn't budge - so I towed it out with CS4 instead. Took me ages but I was being very picky about it.


I also reduced saturation but masked out the red dress and did a little burning in the sky as it was just about to rain and the sky was highly uneventful.
