Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Bo Zano’s “Rockmead” is named after the sim where it was shot and he provides a handy SLurl so you, too, can enjoy these playful otters. [To teleport to RockMead, click here] I love how he used the rule of thirds to place the horizon and the more prominent otter on the left. It’s a model of composition.

“Starling” is one of several shots of birds in SL. Perhaps Bo Zano is the Audubon of SecondLife. Again his composition is exquisite. Look how the angle of the branch the starling is resting on echoes the angle of the unsprung cart. The soft color palette makes this picture feel peaceful and romantic.

I love “Lost, but so precious” which depicts two kinds of wildlife, the swan and the Bear, a wild thing if you wish it to be. He’s even lost one eye in his raucous life. I love how they seem to look at each other, the bear perhaps casting a bit of a stink-eye. I love how the trees frame our protagonists.
Bo Zano’s photostream seems to fall into three themes, roleplay shots of him or his partner, dreamy romantic landscapes, and pictures of Second Life critters, from insects to birds to mammals big and small. Those pictures captured my attention but the others are equally charming. His stream is for your romantic moods, so be sure to follow.
