I think this picture is absolutely priceless. If she (mom) could talk, I think I have a pretty good idea of what she is saying. Kudo's to Nigel Bullers for one of the best pictures I have ever seen.

This is a fabulous photo, but I hope you aren't accepting 'zoo' pictures in the "Natural World" category. That would be an unfortunate and perverse interpretation of the meaning of "natural".

You might be interested to learn that I just posted this comment to Google+. Nice -- it makes me proud to learn that the tigers at the Calgary Zoo, are great "posers" for the winning photo contest. Congratulations!
