 I took this photo while visiting the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens near Carlsbad New Mexico. I have to say I was very impressed by the zoo. It was very well designed and natural. The only animals that seemed in any way unhappy were the predators, such as the big cats and birds of prey, and that is normal.

It feels too much like a snapshot.

The lighting is not very good. I think better light would help this photo a lot.

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

Minor comment...zoo animals show better when the image captures the eyes. Also, appears to be skewed to a bluish hue.
