I've been Pacing this Enclosure
This has been rated the 9th best zoo in the USA. Maybe it's because the grounds are nicely landscaped and manicured. But I am NO WAY convinced that the animals are content here. Granted, some came here to be saved from extinction, and the zoo is doing a good job. But most are very confined. This beautiful cat had been circling his enclosure like the tiger in Little Sambo.

Still experimenting with the new Topaz plugin, "Impression." I then used the Nik Silver Efex to convert the painting to black and white, and lowered the opacity of the BW layer. I think this "look" conveys the cat's emotion.
