Whenever I feel like I'm in a "slump" and none of my pictures makes me happy, I can always count on animals or beautiful children to make me love a photo again :)

I hope the voters aren't too sick of my animals, but if they are, that's okay, I love them anyway :)

Another beautiful cat. His eyes emit a feeling of sadness and longing.

I promise to never get sick of your animal shots as long as you dont get sick of mine. Our tigers and lions are the only cats that have alot of unshaded area. All the others are in forest like environments and the lighting is very poor. I would love to be able to capture some of the smaller (smaller in relation to tigers and lions) cats like this. Once again - beautiful work. Maybe I need to go to the zoo today!

It’s wonderful how my eyes glide over his pelt up into those
hauntingly sad eyes.
He’s talking to you Sandy. Maybe he was hand raised and you look or
sound like his mom.
I’ll never ever ever tire of your animals. Bring it on.

An exceptional cature Sandy and it hurst to have entered this image with so many entries. Think about those voting. Many give up after their 20% is up and those that go all the way are unable to effectively manage all the images. Well, keep up the good work.
