I'm interested to know...

... what you all do for a living, not because I'm nosey or anything, more the fact that I imagine most of you are arty in some way, for wildlife is art is some respects, particularly wildflowers. It just amazes me how many different colours, shapes and sizes there are out there to see. The same can be said for the colouration of birds and insects.

Is it a love of art and beauty that we all possess, and is this reflected in the work we do, or is it more of an escape from everyday mundane life?

I'm a graphic designer for a living and I look upon wildlife as an extension of this, particularly when it comes to photographing it. I want to emphasise the beauty of what I'm seeing so that others can appreciate it and enjoy it.

What are your views on this, or is it a totally stupid question?
