That Tiger has good colour. It's clear and bright.
I love the shot of the chimps, they seem to be in coversation. And that hippo on the last shot, what a capture of being fed. Great!

Some great shots in there! Tiger is nice and sharp.
Hippo is fantastic - great exposure and colours.
Chimps are in a great pose, but pity about the rock.
Giraffes are nice, but the gate is a bit "zoo photo" like.
Pity about the koala's head being cut off.
Bird is great, what an eye!
Second last is a little too tight a crop.

Good work!

Marvelous images. I really like the tiger and hippo shots for their color and clarity.

All nice photos. That bird with the yellow eyes what kind of bird is that? I took a photo of one of those last year when I was in Orlando (In Animal Kingdom).

I know what you mean by watching the tigers all day.

I really like the chimp shot because you've caught a moment. I don't mind the rock (it's a candid). There's a slight blowout on the main subject that some shadows/highlights work might reduce.

The contrast in the 2nd pic would make a great B&W!

It was some kind of grain mush, weird looking and smelling :confused:
