Dallas Zoo: The Stare
Posted by Rags (Plano, United States) on 31 March 2008 in Animal & Insect.
I went to the Dallas Zoo with a couple friends and I had lots of fun. Here is what came out of the visit. Hope you enjoy.
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
The stare is sad. I always feel sorry for the animals in a zoo!

@Michael Skorulski: me too. He seemed so depressed.
Jrask from Pasadena, United States
He looks ready to enter stage left...a lot of apprehension of events to come in this shot. well done! He does look somewhat depressed, but also like he's still in charge!

A fantastic shot Kanyi, I agree he does look sad, bless him, in a perfect world he would be free.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you shot's from the zoo. :)

He looks so sad. You enhanced it by having framed him in a corner! Well done.

Don't you hate it when someone just walks right in front of you when you're trying to take a shot?
