Such a beautiful creature... at least I think so when I go to our local zoo and see them. I found it a little unusual to include the bars until I read your comments and understood that you wanted to give some emphasis to the snow leopard having a lot of space in their enclosure yet sleeping curled up so close to the bars.

I guess there are good reasons for keeping these and other beautiful wild animals in captivity but it breaks my heart to see them in cages. I think you expressed the sadness of this leopard in your image. You tell a story with this image also.

Hi Mark,
Nice to see you posting here again 
Very beautiful creatures but i find they always look so sad as caged animals. It's good that there are breeding programs for these endangered species but it is in itself symptomatic of mankinds failure to allow them the space to survive in their natural habitat. Unfortunately i think that one day they'll only exist in zoos and wildlife parks and will become shaddows of their former selves.
A nice image Mark and it certainly shows the plight of these animals!
Regards
Vic.
