I took this picture last saturday for my local photo club's yearly exhibition. I originally had four big cat pictures, but they told me I could have another last week so I went to the zoo to snap one.

I got to the zoo a bit after sundown, so this was taken in less than ideal circumstances and it needed a fair bit of photoshop to make it pop a bit more. What do you guys think?

Technical data: Nikon D7000 with 70-200 f/2.8 + Kelko 2x teleconverter for a combined 400mm (600mm equivalent). ISO 6400 at f/5.6 and 1/160sec an -0.3 EV bias. Shot through the bars (there's a bar right in front of its nose, running vertically).

Three other four in my set for the exhibition were taken with olympus cameras (E500 and E3 respectively) can be seen here:
