Welcome to VB. Great image, creatively composed. Suggest you submit smaller images because this takes a long time to download - and its "out of focus" until it does. I waited hopefully and was well rewarded.

Behind The Lens

Location

I was visiting a newly found long lost little sister in Omaha last year and she turned me on to the amazing · Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo; this beautiful creature gripped my heart, so I pulled my camera out so I would never forget her.....

Time

We had walked around the zoo for about an hour, putting us at mid-morning...perfect timing for this capture...!!

Lighting

Lighting was ample, it was getting a great shot through the fingerprint-laden glass without it being obvious!!!

Equipment

This emotional capture was taken with my Samsung 6 Android smartphone

Inspiration

I was inspired by the sheer innocence, beauty and raw power that emminated from this glorious animal.

Editing

I don't remember doing any post editing, if I did it was minimal ie sharpening.....

In my camera bag

I am not yet financially able to have anything other then my smartphone, but my current tool has produced some selling shots, so happy for now!!

Feedback

I think the word try screams at me...you don't have to 'try' to grab these moments; just open your inner eye and heart...these opportunities are all around you ....waiting to be remembered and shared forever.... Peace
