These are great! As I was looking at them my 10 year daughter came in and said "DUDE, MOM, did you take those?" When I said no she said "Oh, I was gonna say those are AMAZING!"

Hi Jeff, nice shots! I heard recently that some guys use a flashlight (handheld light, not the camera flash kind) to artificially create catchlights on the eyes. Have you heard anything like that? Some guys would probably just photoshop them in!
Take care
Etienne

Thank you both and tell your daughter "Dude, I can take pictures like that." And go to the zoo! :)

I'm glad you like them. All 4 of these were taken with my new 50mm. :D

Thanks! And I've never heard of the flashlight trick before. I try not to disturb the animals as much as possible so I don't even use a flash. ;)
