Lion - Nerves, Nerves, Nerves

So these photos were all taken so close together, they're more of a series than anything.. so I'ma give each one titles. And while its kind of cheating, having this gorgeous lion sitting in the same pose for every photo.. it's more his expressions that make the picture.

So please, take a moment and just look at his face in each of these photos. I think I did a good job capturing a bit of (what I think may be) feeling there, at least in a couple of them.

There's a lot to be found in the eyes and expressions of animals.

And might I add.. this was honestly the first warm,sunny day we've had in months... so that might be part of it as well.
