11/14/12 - Mountain Lion; best viewed in the largest sizes; Conditions for this shot were about as bad as they could get.  I was about eight inches away from this lion's face and on the other side of a dirty, scratched glass; the lion was pretty much in the dark; I bumped the EV up to +5 and slowed the shutter speed a lot.  There were also a lot of reflectios in the glass of the other people around.  The lion ignored us completely.  Taken at the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum.  What a wonderful place.
