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:
This is how my first serious painting looks like and I chose to paint an owl. That was like 6 years ago I think :D Very few had seen this. When I was painting this, I was thinking “If I were an owl, I would be able to hear the sweet whispers of lovers in the park.”...yep, in case you are wondering, those are sound waves, owls have such fantastic hearing that’s simply amazing!! I always treasure the beginner’s spirit and I kept reminding myself not to lose it….because once you become used to something, it loses that magic, It is now nicely framed and hanging in the most intimate part of my apartment. For those of you who may be curious to see how my owls look like now, you can check them out at my udonchow gallery here in RB :D / /
I don’t know where you’re going / I don’t know where you’ve been Darryl owed me some modeling after this and this. Thanks my dear.
Snow Leopard / Endangered The Snow Leopard (Uncia uncia),sometimes known as the ounce, is a large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia from Afghanistan to Lake Baikal and eastern Tibet. The taxonomic position of this species has been subject to change. In the past, many taxonomists included the Snow Leopard in the genus Panthera, with several of the other largest felids, but later it was placed in its own genus, Uncia. However, a recent molecular study places the species firmly within the genus Panthera, although the exact position remains unclear.[3] Along with the Clouded Leopard, it represents an intermediate between so-called big cats and smaller species, as it cannot roar, despite possessing an incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone, which was thought to be essential in allowing the big cats to roar. However, new studies show that the ability to roar is due to other morphological features, especially of the larynx, which are absent in the Snow Leopard.[4] Well known for its beautiful fur, the Snow Leopard has a whitish-tan coat with ringed spots of dark, ashy-brown and rosettes of black. Its tail is heavy with fur and the bottom of its paws are covered with fur for protection against snow and cold. The life span of a Snow Leopard is normally 15–18 years, but in captivity they can live up to 20 years. The total estimated wild population of the Snow Leopard is between 4,000 and 7,500 individuals (see table below). In addition, there are 600-700 animals in zoos around the world. Protected Areas: Chitral Gol National Park, in the NWFP, Pakistan. / Hemis National Park, in east Ladakh, India. / Khunjerab National Park, Northern Areas, Pakistan. / Nanda Devi National Park, in state of Uttarakhand, India, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.[9] / Qomolangma National Nature Preserve, Tibet, China.[10] / Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.[11] / Tumor Feng Nature Reserve, western Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang, China.[12] / Valley of Flowers National Park, Uttaranchal, India, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site. / Shey-Phoksundo National Park, Dolpa, Nepal. / Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve,Baglung, Nepal. / Annapurna Conservation Area, Western Nepal. / Jigme Dorji National Park, Bhutan / Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park, Mongolia / Ubsunur Hollow, on the territorial border of Mongolia and the Republic of Tuva / Much progress has been made in securing the survival of the snow leopard, with snow leopards being successfully bred in captivity. The animals usually give birth to 2 to 3 cubs in a litter, but can give birth to up to 7 in some cases.

Canon 40D, 100-400 IS Lens, focal length 400mm, speed 1/400, f 6.3. Great grey owls hunt at the bottom of our hill from time to time, and I carry the camera in the hopes of catching them. This guy was right above me when I shot this; it certainly made me feel like his next mouse!

our very own lollipoppins sitting a dreaming in the field, just what you want to do on a hot summers day. Me and the Beautiful Lollie decided to hook up and create some art yesterday, so set with two cameras, two guitars, a tripod, a reflector, a few bags of clothes and make up we travelled around the country side while looking like funky Hitchhikers. Taken on a Canon 450D I would send my heart in a cupcake to the following for featuring this work: / Young Enthusiasts

Althought I am not a huge fan of zoos I believe they have a place in preserving our wonderful wildlife that may soon not be seen in the wild. Please view large
