I love your zoo shots, Mike -- this is my favorite and so my fave of your August entries :) I love the full frame, the expression (as I said before) and the wonderful details and rich color. The other two I really like are Mexican Gray Wolf and Tree Hugger. Love the sense of movement in the wolf shot and the giraffe just makes me laugh -- eye catching comp there, too. Good luck in the BP contest. #8893991
