There is something captivating about this image. It's so realistic. The folds in the skin on it's rear foot; facial expression...I don't know. I think it's thinking, "Wish I were back in the wild". I have to wonder just how happy zoo animals are. Grrrrrrrrrreat capture. KEEP-PAH

Three meals a day and lots of rest...what a life, Raj. Beautifully presented and a wonderful shot.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

I love the details, the furrows of the skin, the textures of the bark, the lazy way she is letting one leg hang down...really nice one!!

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

I have seen our cat lie like that. One leg dangling in the air with the rest of its body magically balanced.

She looks quite content on her log bed Raj - a nice capture of the sleeping lioness.

Great capture, Raj. She certainly must have a full belly to show such complacency.
What a perfect expression.

A wonderful capture Raj.
I really do think you must have a great affinity with animals as they pose for you so well. This one is observing you with great interest through its sleepy eyes :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
