Description

Well I almost called off my zoo trip today as it was cloudy with threatening rain. Boy was I glad I didnt or I wouldnt have gotten some of the best shots I have ever taken there. This is my favorite shot. Took 2 hours of waiting for him to stand up a 2nd time, 1st time I have just walked in and was changing lens when he did it. Many thanks for looking and have a great day.

I really like this shot, though I would have tried a more tolerant dof to get as much overall detail as possible. Perhaps the lack of light and timing prevented this. But yet a face that brings a smile!
