Description

Taken through angle chain link at our little zoo here. Used nik color effects's midnight sepia on the original and added a beam of light for a bit more drama to this guy's yawn using Mystical Lighting. The original was nice, catching the leaopard in a yawn, but the cement wall and barren surrounding of the zoo enclosure (way too tiny imo for these large cats) did nothing for the background, so I decided to enhance his surroundings more:-) Hope this is ok in the monthly category being that he's yawning, not roaring and he's a leopard, not a lion. But I guess he could be a funny cat.
