Description

I understand the need for zoos and to be able to study animals, it is still hard to think of them being in a cage and not free to live there lives. Taken in aperture priority, spot metered, 1/125 second at f/5.6 and -1 stop exposure bias, Olympus 70-300mm lens set at 300mm, ISO 400, late morning, bright overcast sky.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: -1.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire, auto mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 300.00 mm, Model: E-520

Great capture of this beautiful creature, and it breaks my heart to see them caged...when you look into their eyes and see a sense of sadness. I enjoyed your lovely gallery. #8440814

Great Image Ken... yes it is sad to think they are caged... but most Zoos do try to keep them as active and happy as they can... #8447486

Thank you Sherry fot the lovely comment, the zoo that this photo was taken at Is in the process of building an new South American exhibit and this lovely cat will have much more room then just this cage. #8462094

Beautiful, Ken!
I, too, along with many others, share mixed feelings regarding the captivity of zoo animals.
