Description I still really love this shot i took at the Toronto Zoo, considering what i went through to take it!
I actually brought a print of this picture to my portfolio interview at McMaster University

wow! that is an awesome shot
really great framing. the texture on the rocks in the background is a really interesting contrast to the lion. the rocks almost look painted

thanks! Ya, i basically cropped the hell out of it to get this interesting composition, and i also adjusted the contrast to get that effect

That's a really nice shot indeed, lovely colours I'm specially drawn to the background, too, I like the contrast between its rough texture and how 'soft' the lion looks, in a way...

could you elaborate on what you went through for the photo? *looks forward to interesting story about nearly being eaten*

ahahhaaha, long story short, the lions were kind of hiding behind a rock, i could only see the tops of their heads. I climbed up a tree onto my dads shoulders, held the camera straight up in the air and snapped quite a few shots to get one that worked! Luckily no eating of me took place
