Black and white version of Mramba, to me this has a whole different level of intensity. Which version do you like? Captive animal. / / / / The future of African predators is in peril. It is estimated that only 10,000-15,000 free-roaming African lions remain, down from 50,000 a decade ago. African lions are now listed as Endangered (West African subspecies) and Vulnerable (East and Southern African subspecies) by the World Conservation Union and are on Appendix II of the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) list. African lions are in danger of disappearing altogether due to disease (FIV, bovine tuberculosis, canine distemper) and habitat encroachment. Today’s modern world subjects lions and other wildlife to many dangers. Mankind constantly seizes more and more of the remaining wild areas of Africa, forcing lions onto smaller and smaller parcels of land. Large-scale developments destroy the lion’s natural habitat. In areas inhabited by livestock, lions are frequently shot, snared or poisoned. And sadly, the hunting of these amazing animals for “sport,” for man’s pleasure, is still encouraged as a revenue producing industry by many African governments. African predators simply will not survive unless they are protected. 100% of proceeds from any sales of this image will be donated to the Virginia Zoo

I apologise for the stupid title but couldn’t think of any better description. Tigers are one of my favourite animals and they always amaze me whenever I get a chance to see them. This photo was taken through thick glass but the Tiger still managed to send chills down my spine. Just seconds after this photo was taken I was looking into its eyes and we were both fixated on each other. He then got up and showed his teeth and came closer to the window, it gave me quite a fright! I also learnt during this visit that the Sumatran Tiger is critically endangered, Indonesia has 65 captive Sumatran tigers living in zoos, 85 in European zoos and 20 in Australian zoos. There are 70 tigers managed by North American zoos of which the Honolulu Zoo has three. The entire captive population is descended from 37 wild-caught founders. Taken at the Melbourne Zoo in Parkville, Melbourne, Australia with my Canon 300D and a Canon 75-300mm lens. I added a bit of contrast and clarity as I was getting really flat colours shooting through the glass, it was also a very overcast winter’s day. Also converted to HDR in Photomatix to bring out more detail and also fixed up some of the background in Photoshop. The image as a medium sized mounted print with a black border and artist’s details:

The Light Within You Nourishes My Dreams / Palm Fronds Silhouettes Dramatic Skies / Makawao Hawaii From my collection: / Awakening in Paradise / Maui Hawai’i “So many grains of sand / So many stars in the sky / So many miles around this planet of life / The sounds of creation must have echoed back along the corridors of the universe across the passionate heat of the Sun through the loving heart of Venus to unite twin souls together once separated by space and time What ancient calendar could have predicted that our time is now? / But here we are / I stand in the presence of a beauty beyond the stars / A loving, bright and beautiful soul that brings so much love and joy to my heart My night now bright with the starlight of your eyes / Your heavenly body graces my sky, night to day, the light within you nourishes my dreams and I see forever in your eyes Your lips touch mine and I am taken to a place, to a place of joy and hope and promise of a life together in our home You and me at the top of the mountain looking down on the world of love we created So kiss me / Hold me / Fill me up with your love that I may breathe only to whisper the words I love you!” ~ Poetry by David Stanley Bell
