Freedom Lost

This guy looked right at me as I started snapping photos. What an

awesome specimen, but it was really sad to see these beautiful

animals trapped in this artificial environment. On one hand, I feel

honored to have seen them (my first trip to a zoo since elementary

school), but on the other...I'll never patronize a zoo again.

This is, in spite of your reservations for zoos, a fantastic portrait with the priceless element of eye contact...  Mike

A mean looking hombre.  I think you've captured his essence............Don't mess with me!
