Oh, thats really good. I'm assuming he is a captive (typically you shoot zoo animals), but how on earth do you get the lighting and backgrounds. Since I'm not familiar with the genre and would like to figure out how to make use of the lousy L.A. Zoo in my spare time, I am wondering if perhaps you could shoot me an email. Thnx. #11382484

I think these guys are among my favorite. I just love the colors and look on its face. I always marveled when they open their mouth and you see them teeth. These are a warrior to me. Now you soften that thought with such a beautiful looking portrait. I love the pose, the log serves a purpose, and that lighting is so gorgeous. This is a WINNER all the way. A favorite for me. #11382596
