ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2017 Submission. The Last Unicorn by Michael Pliskin. All Rights Reserved.

The first image is of two brown pelicans sitting on the eave of a building on a fishing pier, laughing it up and having the time of their lives.  I had never witnessed this kind of playfulness in these birds that I lovingly refer to as "Sea Turkeys."

The second image is of an endangered black rhino at the Los Angeles zoo.  I added the make-up in post production to make it look like another endangered animal - the unicorn. As far as I know, no living human has ever seen a real unicorn, so this could very well be a photograph of a real unicorn. Who is to know?
