Boy I swear, they must love you at the zoo. I can hardly get any emotion out of the animals when I am there.

[Robert Velten]

La la la lion. Great portrait, he does have a bit of a Don King hairdo going on there. I'm way behind as well, just got out of photo mode. I've been playing with some industrial surplus inspection lenses, if I can get the right combination of optics and tubes some ultra macros will be forthcoming. Cheers!
