Just walking around the zoo, thankful that there's a place I can see non-native species to photograph, and I saw this Leopard just staring at me...
Notice two things .... I did, right away... Notice the intelligence and sadness in the eyes. Then, focus on the wire cage in the forground.. How it contrasts what is supposed to be a beautiful thing to see...
I took the shot ................... and then drove the 125 miles back home. On my way home, I couldn't help but notice several large herds of Antelope out in the prairie near the freeway - running free.. Now - I'm not sure that I'm thankful anymore that there's a place I can see non-native species .. just to photograph..
Everyone get's their own opinion about zoo's - and I respect them all... I guess I've just changed mine.
