Exactly why I don't go to the zoos. Very sad image.

Nice use of DOF here, where normally you would hide the fence, this illustrates what you were after very well.

Very sad image, The fence in the foreground makes this photo, maybe it should have been in focus too?

I would like to see a little more color. The photo looks a little washed out. Overall, above average though. Good DOF. 7

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......

Well, simple answer is that if you weren't jailed you would probably be shot and eaten and have your skin turned into fashion accessories for rich morons. Another answer would be that whilst this is a valiant effort on behalf of conservation, you are imprisoned as a means of paying the overheads that the owner of that cage has such as food, security, staff, surveillance equipment, advertising and a whole host of other things that a big cat probably wouldn't understand.

I'm sure you miss life on the Savannah chasing the antelope and drinking from holes and the rainy season and all that fun stuff, but here at least people take your picture and say "awwwww".
