Took a day trip the the NC Zoo with a few friends. Most of the animal shots were taken through double pane glass, which were all covered with nasty kid face and hand grease. Made things tough in some cases to get a good picture, as well as some of the snake pics being really dark. I didn't really want to hold my group up in the dark spots, so I just bumped the ISO up (hence the grain).

Feel free to give CC.......it is appreciated when you see obvious errors or know a better method.

I love the last two. The butterfly is rich in colors and the monkey one made me smile :)

Good strong colours, my favourites are the parrot and the butterfly. Still the one of the baboons would be excellent for a caption competition.

I think you have some good compositions here but to me it looks like your white balance was off in a few places...the iguana, the butterfly and the baboons specifically. I'd also check your histograms and maybe make a levels adjustment here and there too as a couple of them look kind of dark.

Peace,
Jim

I really like 3, 4, and the last 2. The monkeys are just funny. I really wish 2 had a deeper DOF.
