fun at the zoo

Here's a few photo's from my recent trip to the San Diego Zoo. I posted some of the bird photo's in that forum as well.

#1 & #2 are great
#3 - background people distracting and nicer if he was looking at you.

Love shot #1. The blown highlights would be tough to avoid in this circumstance. In the end it doesn't matter as the shot is otherwise so strong.

I really like the polar bear shot and I may try and do some more editing on it to address some of the blown out sky above the water but I like the interaction between the animal and the people visiting the zoo.

The hippo shot was taken through glass so I'm impressed it turned out as well as it did. I had to tweak the levels around the hippo but i quite like it.

Its hard to get photo's of those apes without people in the background...at least from that vantage point.
