Zoo photos are sometimes hard to get well done, and you did great! I just mentioned the monkey because its too sweet. you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

How far away and how big was it? The reason I ask is that the nose and eyes are in focus at 200 mm f/4. Nice job! Spider monkeys are hard to get in focus especially when there is a fence that close for AF to lock onto. A smaller aperture may have helped depending on how close it was. Of course you would have to bump up the ISO to compensate. Yours is better than most of my attempts. If they were mine I would bring the highlights of the polar bear, giraffe, rhino and wife down a bit. Try to keep the histogram from touching or stacking up on the right. Come close but don't touch. This should be done both when shooting and in PP. Thanks, went back and saw in LR4 the arrows at each end for the highlights(whites) and darks (blacks). didn't see that when I first editing.

Glad to help. In case you didn't know the letter J will toggle whether it shows the clipped portions in the image. Red areas are clipped whites and blue areas are clipped blacks. It is very useful tool. Charles
