He (or she) is a beauty. The eyes do tell a lot in this one. Great capture Nigel. Thanks for sharing.

God has created fantastic beauty for us to photograph and fantastic photographers to bring out that beauty in unique ways.

There are no words to describe, only in the deepest fathoms of our subconscious do the explanations reside. ~~~~~~~ MY EXHIBITION GALLERY ~~~~~~~~.
Was this photo taken in London, Jack? I mean Sir Nigel. You really have something to howl about with this photo. It is really good. I can see the longing in the eyes as well.

Check the shadows to see if you are there
Poor guy probably wants to jump the fence and pounce on some tasty chops...at least that's what his eyes say.
Great, great shot. Nicely detailed, wonderful clarity...and I like that he's glancing off instead of staring down the lens.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
So many have said how good this is and I must add my voice to theirs. I have seen your work for more than a year now, and this is the finest piece I have seen so far. You leave me wondering what greatness is yet to come!

"Never let your studies interfere with your education." - Pete Seeger
That aperture really helped isolate his beautiful face from the darkened background. I can't imagine this was easy to accomplish with the lighting, but you did anyway steeping him into his mysterious, dark world. His eyes are beautiful. A really nice capture, Nigel.

How did you get him to pose so well for you!? When ever i go to the zoo the animals are never so kind! Faved!

None of the ideas expressed above are actually mine. They are told to me by Luthor and Ferdinand, the five inch tall space aliens who live under my desk. In return for these ideas, I have given them permission to eat any dust bunnies they may find under there.
This is a very great and wonderful picture it almost looks like he is out in the wild looking for some food or even just looking out into the wild. Faved!

What more is there for me to say lol.
A fine shot Nigel - he could well be in the wild with that nice muted background.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
I never would have known he was in a zoo! You really captured the wild beast here.

Great use of focus to isolate on the face. I like the use of the overall dark background (and subject) to enhances the powerfull feeling we get from this predator's stare. Well done! (and thanks for the equipment and exposure details)
