The King of the Jungle — 2 Comments

  1. So you are going to the zoo almost every day? in the top photo, is the lion roaring or yawning? There\’s something to be said for zoos because they can protect the last of a species or help it become re-established.

    • Oh, no. I\’ve done three photoshoots for this challenge, plus I have the photos from a couple other trips (we\’re members there). When I do a shoot, I take between 300 and 500 shots, so I have a large library from which to choose. I like doing it that way because I love being behind the camera. I don\’t love darkroom or Photoshop work, which my husband likes, I also don\’t like studio work particularly, also what he likes. So it\’s interesting; our photography doesn\’t really intersect all that much. He\’s the pro in the family. 🙂

      The lion in this shot is yawning, but I love that it\’s not clear. I couldn\’t find the ones of him roaring in the time I had for prepping for the post. If I can go back and dig them out when time calms down, I will; I wish I caught it on video. It was bone chilling. All he\’s doing is seeing if there are other males in his territory, but it raises the hairs on the back of your neck.
