All things bright and beautiful; all creatures great and small; all things wise and wonderful; the Lord God made them all! James Herriot thought that little poem was good enough for the titles of his marvelous books, and that’s what came to mind when I viewed this magnificent portrait. Thank you, Krys, for showcasing the bright and beautiful, the great and small, the wise and wonderful! I never tire of seeing the marvelous diversity in creation through your lens and through your magnanimous soul.

This is really excellent Krys, couldnt be better :)

Wonderful close up on this contemplative cat. I can think of a number of great captions for this one such as “Hmm, the little photographer over there, nope … ate one of those for lunch. How about the guy in the gray suit … nah”.

Krys, I don’t think you take things for granted at all. You have a sense of awe and wonder that whets my own desire to see the world afresh with greater appreciation each day. Thank you for sharing that gift!

great capture! I’m the Co-Host to the Funny Kritters group, you should submit this!

Magnificiently beautiful capture. Instant fav!

What an expression! Love it!

He looks like he is scheming!

Stunning shot:)

Very nice capture, as always your pictures are great. I bet he is contemplating an escape tunnel . I certainly would, if I where locked up in those relative small confinements for such a big cat.

I get sometimes very frustrated with Marwell zoo, well you know me, traditional Zoo’s in general. They do nothing for preservation, but often cause psychological problems in the animal. None of the animals they breed could ever be released to the wild. Even the RSPCA agree with that one, especially for Elephants.

Sorry, I am stepping down from my soap box right now. ;)

Sorry Krys, we have to agree to disagree on this one.
The Armur Leopards are not helped or conserved. It has all to do with business and a Victorian view of experimenting under the false guise of science. The leopards could be much better introduced and reared in their natural environment, which still exists. All scientific and Zoological papers written now confirm this. zoo’s are just their for your entertainment and nothing to do with preservation whatsoever. These are not my words but of many experts.including prominent [professors of Brighton University and eminent Zoologists working with Earth watch a science orientated charity.

stunning image

As good as it gets Krys, perfect capture of that wonderful leopard’s face, nothing more to add other than very well done,
Regards, Rod.
