I guess it's trying to exercise or just relax its leg, it stayed in that position for over 10 minutes. Took this inside the San Diego Zoo

the problem with this picture is that the leaf in the foreground actually distracts the viewer from the subject. other than that this is a good photo.

Good shot. However the shadows don't play well.

Your light meter was fooled by the shadows and hence, the main subject is overexposed. I suggest bracketing exposures to avoid this next time you take photos in contrasty lighting. If you can't do this manually, find your camera's EV setting and set it at a plus setting. You'll lose detail in the background but it what you gain in detail in the main subject will make up for this. If you were shooting a subject against a very light background you would try stopping down your exposure. In this case you would lose shadow detail but gain in the midtones and highlights.
