Thanks very much for your kind comments, the shot was taken a the Fort Worth Zoo, the Big Cats swim every evening right before they are taken in for dinner. They are like a bunch of kids, running around and jumping and splashing. This one was resting from the festivities and I liked the way he was posing right on the edge of the Waterfall.
Craig, nice capture of this big cat in quiet repose...I really like the lighting and the colors here. Interesting perspective too...it accentuates the crossing of the cat's paws. Where did you catch this beauty? MFC
