Keep getting busy old man.
Now the question is, how are they going to raise a family in that mess that the National Zoo calls a home for the Lions? Maybe they can take some room from the Elephants.

Beautiful capture! I love his expression and the eyes looking right through us. I would love to see the color version, if you can work it in sometime.

Very nice. I like this better than your other recent B&W photo of Luke.
ChasingDulcineaPhoto (21 months ago | reply)
Great shot! The out of focus fore- and backgrounds really forces the viewer to concentrate on the lion.

Excellent, looks great in B&W treatment and the soft focus on nearby leaves make a perfect frame for Luke - what a handsome lion!
