The Terrifying Yawn

In this picture at the Milwaukee County zoo, I was lucky enough to capture the jaguar yawning. The lighting behind the glass was perfectly set like a spotlight on the animal, which helped to make him look so photogenic. I had to have a fast shutter speed to catch his jaw and mouth in motion. I also used the rule of thirds so he wasn't dead center in the photograph. I think there's also an interesting aspect to it because it looks like he could be roaring and angry, but he was just tired!
