You lookin' at me?!

Uploaded: June 18, 2006

Description

Taken at a local safari. Used a wide aperture to 'focus out' the wires of the cage it was in. Then a bit of a crop for the maximum effect of his 'look'.

Rob, excellent detail, exposure and lighting; he's so ugly he's kind of cute. #467575

Nice shot but I'm a little disappointed. You went to the African Lion Safari and didn't even invite Arlene and I. Oh well. All kidding aside Rob, this is awesome. His eyes almost say, "Take it already!" Good job.
Check out my photo from the wedding this past weekend. #2916813

well, I can see that you're still fishing for more compliments, so you're on. It would make a great greeting card--birthday, UnBirthday, AntiValentine, All Occassion woth a Spit in the Eye kind of greeting. Love it, really I do-- great humor and candor through the beak of a bird. #3162561

Well, thanks again, Mary! You have made my day! #3163889
