For me, a gentle reminder that we are not as big as we act like we think we are. This shot is very nice combination of black, blue, and he red.

Makes me want to go visit. Beautiful capture, excellent lighting. Kind of want the peak of the near mountain in the shot, but it looks like there is a distracting building up in the upper right that sort-of forces you into this crop.

I thought I caught a glimpse of her, there at the end of the row between the trees - just where the dark of the surrounding forest starts. Just a glimpse, with the light reflecting off her wings as she blinked out of sight. I would have thought it just imagination had I not also heard three lilting notes as clear as bells.

Now why doesn't he look fierce? Reminds me of Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia (C.S. Lewis)

Why are you pestering me for your photo challenge?

Great shot. How did you get him to lie down. At our zoo, they're always pacing.
