Arrow Not even a mother could love this face....

The title of the thread is obviously for the first shot
These are a few shots I took at a Wildlife Sanctuary nearby. The staff let us in to some of the exhibits with the animals, so it was great fun. I just love that these faces seem to show the personality of each animal.
Hope you like!

Thank you Sheriliz. I do like the second one a lot.. that owl has a lot of funny poses as I look through my shots. He gave me one face that looked dead on like puss n' boots from Shrek
Maybe I'll post it too if I get the chance.

thanks douglas! The owls were a lot of fun to shoot...they make great models because the only thing they tend to move is their heads
