Thank you everyone for your very kind comments. I took this photo at the National Zoo in DC. I added/enhansed the blur element with PhotoShop and I think it made the image more dramatic.

I just gotta tell ya Don, when I saw this image for the first time I said to myself, this nut was on one of those African Photo Safaris shooting from the back of an open pick up truck like those brothers you see on the National Geographic Chanel. I hope he had a change of shorts with him. What a shot! What are the chances of seeing, let alone getting a picture of, action like this at a zoo? I hope you have a big one of these displayed at home.

Joe, This image was actually published in Nature's Best magaine. It was also displayed (about 3'x 5') in the Smithsonian for almost a year. But it is a digitally enhanced image of a lion yawning -- I added the motion blur in the background to make it interesting. Don J.

Oh. I'm speachless. Did you say, yawning? You sure did a great job making a picture of a yawning lion look like WILD KINGDOM, Don. I like the story my eyes dictated to my vivid immagination much better. In it you and your guide, Nimrod, barely escape with your lives when your electronic flash frightens the beast away. Then you change your shorts. LOL All kidding aside, this is OUTSTANDING work.

Don, when the Smithsonian exhibit came down, did you get to keep the big enlargement print?

Unfortunately, they did not let me keep the enlargements displayed at the Smithsonian. They said they may be interested in using them for future traveling exhibits around the country. I hope so, but only time will tell.

I was waiting to hear the answer you gave Christopher. Too bad, that would have been special. You must have had someone take a picture of you standing beside it at the Smithsonian, right?
