Afterwork: Levels, contrast, a bit of hue&saturation changes.
As most of my watchers already know. I am a fanatic about programs to help fund wildlife education an support. This past summer I went to a facility a young gentlemen volunteering for our local Zoo recommended; E.F.R.C. The E.F.R.C. or Exotic Feline Rescue Center, I visited. Of course, who could past up wild cats, certainly not me. As I took the tour, and listened to some of the horror stories surrounding the rescue of these big cats I had to, once again, hate the idiots that believe such animals can be turned into pets. The E.F.R.C. does not breed animals, their mission is to rescue and reclaim wild cats that do not belong in anyone's backyard. So, today I ask for some help for the people who give their time and care to saving all they can. Second Annual Saving the Big Cats Charity Auction On January 17 (Saturday) for the E.F.R.C. second annual Saving the Big Cats Charity Auction. It promises to be a great day for the EFRC and all of our supporters as we gather at the Robert Irsay Pavilion in Carmel, Indiana, for three hours of food, drink and music, all the while enjoying both our multiple silent and live auctions! Our thanks to Nancy Irsay for opening the Pavilion for this special event. Last year, the inaugural Saving the Big Cats Charity Auction raised nearly $25,000 for the EFRC and its big cats. Max, a male tiger, made the journey to Carmel on that day and served as a wonderful, 300-pound reminder of the amazing work being done at the EFRC. With your help we plan to raise $30,000 this year to benefit the EFRC. There will be a special "feline ambassador" from the EFRC on hand once again, so come to the event to find out who! With an even better event planned for this year, we need your support to make it truly special! All guests will enjoy complimentary food, drink and music at the auction as they puruse the expansive display of silent auction items. Our live auction, featuring approximately 12 premium items, will highlight the day. Thanks to Steve Newby and Conversation Pieces for donating their musical talents for this event, The Daily Grind, Sheridan, Indiana, for donating the catering and to Upland Brewing Company, Bloomington, Indiana, for providing their micro-brew beer for our guests of legal drinking age. The auction will take place on Saturday, January 17, from 3:00 pm through 6:00 pm. We will feature multiple silent auctions and a live auction of premium items. Advance ticket sales are available at the EFRC website for $20 (through 1/14) and then at the door for $25.

 reports, 1d 6h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

The point underneath this being that wild animals should not be kept as pets, and thank goodness for these places that rescue the victims of stupid people's mistakes!
Now, beautiful shot. You do show the pictures to the rescues' workers, don't you?

Secondly this is a beautiful image, as are all of your photos, he looks so hauntingly serene.
And I hope that they make a lot of money for the auction too, animals really deserve better than we can give them.

My only criticism is he looks underexposed. I suspect that was a necissity though to get a shot free of camera shake?
