012/365 - Jim - Lion

( f/4.5 70mm 1/80 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Theme is wildlife. We went to Living Treasures today so Jameson could pet some animals. There were lots of goats roaming around that you can pet and feed. Mostly all of the animals were behind cages, which made it hard to get a clean image. This was taken through scratched up double panel glass. I had a circular polarizer which cut some of the glare, but it was still pretty low contrast. I increased contrast and applied an effect in Lightroom.

Awesome. Very regal looking lion. Did you go to the animal park to day just because the theme was wildlife?

I think it turned out really good considering that glass was dirty too.
He was very regal looking.
Good picture Jim.

No, the theme was swapped with next Tuesday because we were going there. Better to get a lion now than a sparrow Tuesday :)
