At first I didn't like #1. Not because of it's technical aspects but because it's a little guy wrenching for me. Such a magnificent being, in a zoo, trying to figure out a smart phone. Not all photography gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling so it must be a great shot. It did promote a lot of emotion. #7 is a killer shot. If you were walking down a path in India and saw that, it may be the last thing you see! Gary
Hey Gary, Thank you for your very thoughtful comments. It's sad to see all these majestic animals in captivity, but I take solace that seeing them will inspire future generations all the more to make sure they are preserved in the wild. If it makes you feel any better, I PS'd out the food that big guy was eating to swap it out for a cell phone. I try to add a little levity to my work every once in awhile.
I'm glad you like Here, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty. I waited there for almost an hour to get that shot!
