I took these shots in Wildlife parks where you could get close to the animals.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks
Stuart

Great expressions in the first shot. I also like the detail in the fur and tree as well as the exposure. I am not so sure about the bokeh. Is the background a resullt of the lens or post processing? What lens and ISO?

Hi Gary,

The image was made with Canon 20D, 80-200mm f2.8L lens.
ISO was 400 1/250 at 3.2

The background was totally natural, no post processing.

Hi Stuart and welcome. The top pic looks to be of Matilda and her Joey called Sugar. Haven't been there was a coupla months. Good crisp pic of them both.

Thanks for the comments Maureen, he looks quite adorable.

Have a good look at how muscular he is in this next shot, he is a very big Kangaroo and would be very capable of inflicting some nasty injuries if you were to upset him.

Hi Carzee,

Thanks for the welcome and the comments.

I go here quite often, its a good place to get some shots as you can get close to the animals.

Thanks for the invitation Carzee, but I have already had to decline this offer from another member.
