Now that's a shot that pops out of the screen! Only thing missing is the drool as he's thinking what you'd taste like ;)

Great pic. When I was at the zoo all the lions and tigers were asleep. Gotta be happy with this one.

Fozzie - you have hit the shot on the nose. As was said in another thread you need eye contact - this you have - great shot :D

Great shot - as for the drool - I think it is because the poor beast would have to gum it's prey to death ..... um...... no teeth ;)

Nice one Fozzie!

I can see what he's thinking - "Not you again!" :lol:

What did happen to his teeth? He must live on milkshakes.

Cheers

Great shot mate as i have said last nite, but as has been said only thing that i dont like is that the teeth have either been ground down or something which is a pitty.

This is a pearler! Great eye contact and eye detail... Terrific animal shot... Nice WB too, color seems nice and natural...

Looks as though he's got a few years under the belt (like a lot of us I suppose :lol: )...

Hmm, speaking for myself, I look like I've got a few beers under the belt as well :oops: :oops:
