Brantford, Ontario Zoo Set - CC

Shooting through fencing just sucks! I had to play quite a bit in lightroom to either get rid of the fencing or hide it. CC is welcome and is appreciated. Your comments make me a better photographer.

#2 is terrific. i wish both eyes were open, but still very well done.

#3 & 4 are excellent also.

#5 precious moment! focus should have focused on the kid but still a keeper if this is your own kid. maybe crop some off the left side.

and try to recover some detail in the black areas of 4 & 5.

#1 doesnt seem to fit in the lion set, it doesn't add anything for me to the story of the other two.

You're in a zoo...there's no hurry right...why rush the shoot? Wait for the better expression from the animals and compose better...you cropped out part of the bird.

Thanks Sally!

Agree, #1 is a bit boring! I liked it more before I was getting awesome compliments elsewhere on 2 and 3. I too wish his eyes were open, right after this shot #1 happened and he didnt wake up! lol.

Not my kid but I got the fathers email and sent him copies. He loved it.

Chauncey - sometimes you are hurried. People crowd the animals move away from where youved perched and I was at the best vantage to get through the fencing.

The bird is cropped becasue the butt of another bird is right in the way

Thanks for commenting appreciate it.

Here are more of the lions.

How often does a Lion wink at you? Very cool capture.
I think you could brighten his eyes in #3 and #2 of the second set.
