weekly Cobra's 2020 cataclysmic catastrophes Week 52 decorate and done!

Cool shot to kick off the 52. Not sure I am too keen on the the frame and torn effect, but I get the idea behind it.

Cheers Bob.
Yeah it didn't quite go according to plan, I'd better stick to gob shots (y)
 
Week 2 Pleasurable

But it was not such a pleasurable day after all ... Flat light howling wind gave way to rain. even the animals were showing their displeasure

Catalonia makes for a great shot!
 
Hi Cobra, that is one lioness that looks like it needs a little pleasure! Lovely shot, how do you get your photos with no fences or bars in them?

Canon has a "wire filter" built it (y)

Actually that one is shot through glass, ( lens hood tight against the glass to take out the reflections) but for wire, either 200mm @ f/2.8 to blur it out
or 400mm @ around f/5.6 and shoot through it.

That look... As you say, it's not really a look of enjoyment, the squint of the eyes give a look of evil determination !
So whilst that's not a gob shot(TM), it is a great expression and your second week without a shoe horn!
 
Ears back, not happy, but boy still a gorgeous looking animal. Well shot

Thanks for stopping by Donna (y)
 
Great image, shame the weather spoilt your day
 
Nicely shot, a very grumpy lioness. :)
 
Definite displeasure. Not a look if want to see without a sturdy fence in the way!
 
I think his pleasure might be to get to meet you better [emoji51] Nice capture.

I’m wondering if we’ve been to the same zoo? We have two huge maneless lions at the Isle of Wight zoo. They didn’t come out from behind glass in the awful weather on my visit this week. I’m hoping when I download my pics, I’ve got ‘pleasure’ sorted.

Well that's curious, I wasn't aware of any other Maneless lions. I thought these were unique, obviously not.

This is Whipsnade (ZSL) in Bedfordshire.

Thanks for dropping by (y)
 
Grumpy and by the sounds of it, it's quite understandable (that's the lion, although it could be both of you)
 
What a great expression, Chris! :LOL: Our cats can do a great glower when they feel like it, but that's a full on scowl and there's absolutely no doubt that he's unhappy. I'm not sure where 'pleasure' comes into it, but I'll admit it made me smile when I saw it :)

There is a Cheetah there, that also gives me "The look" I'll see if I can find a picture, if not, I'll try and capture the grumpy looking sod :D

Thanks for dropping by Andrea (y)

"Subtle"?! :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO:

I'd like to see that if you can find it. It's amazing how many different expressions animals can manage, and the feelings they convey. Our two cats and dog certainly have no difficulty running our house without saying a word :)
 
There you go Andrea @Manxmaid

Even as a cub it was a grumpy looking [PLEASE DON'T TRY TO BYPASS THE SWEAR FILTER] :D
