Wow, I'm honored by the feature, thank you! And thank you for all the kind comments. :)
This was my very first trip to the zoo in the snow and it was such a fun experience.
I shot him pacing around and looking longingly up at the snow covered trees. I like to think that in this shot he was looking back at me wondering why the heck I was still there.
The aperture is fairly wide to blur the background. This led to a lot of blurry snowflakes in the foreground which I tried to remove when they blocked his profile. It wasn't snowing out. The snow clumps in this image are all falling from the trees. So it was fairly bright and I got away with a low ISO.
