The Kiss
I’ll be totally honest! This was a great moment, ruined by the enclosure wires. So when all else fails – turn it into a painting! ;o) Yenna and cub, Marwell Zoo, Hampshire, England.

Thanks John! I have some cute moments captured, all ruined by the wires in front. Why the zoo doesn’t just let them run around free, I can’t imagine! ;o)

I love Bonnie’s comment, and totally agree, I think what you ended up with was better than if the fence wasn’t there and it was just a photo! The processing adds to it in a way that actually enhances it, well done!!!

Good idea to turn this into a painting, I hate fence wires they totally ruin the shot. I’ll have to remember your good idea. Love this photo, priceless!
