Re: At the zoo
Nice work doc!
I especially like shot #3 ("the dark bird").

This is from my only zoo visit in about 20 years or so, as we don't have any nearby. That perticular zoo is about some 300 km's from here.
BR Zeb!

Re: At the zoo
Hi Doctor,
nice shots they are... thanks for posting. Do you mind if I fuss around a bit?
If I had to do it I might cheat a little and eliminate the blue lines on the rock behind the elephant's head, the same goes for the upper left corner for the bird (stork?)... I would just PP it away. It is a bit distracting for my taste. As usual, only a matter of taste.
The third one is really astonishingly sharp!
By the way, what did you tell the elephant to get that look in its face?
Cheers Jonathan

As for the elephant's look, I just asked him whether he knows who will be elected in November, Obama or McCain. And that's the answer.

Re: At the zoo
The bars behind which this male was sitting was quite tiny, but managed to zoom on him so that the bars were not seen.

Re: At the zoo
Very nice thread!
Animals are very interesting creatures with their various resemblences to human nature. That baboon reminds of ancient Egyptian Pharaohs with the ancient traditional head-dressing with his eyes half-closed and looking so dignified. Maybe it's just me who sees such similarities...
All are caught in their interesting daily rituals of fun or hunger and the chinese pheasants have lovely colours...a pity they have to live behind fences, bars and in cages though...
Thanks everyone,
Yildiz

Re: At the zoo
Yes Yildiz, I absolutely agree with you. Resemblance is a fact. Ornaments and dressings were also made that way.
Even look around you, people who have pet dogs, they do resemble each other.

I took the liberty to play around with your files (I hope you don't mind). If you like them, please download them... I suppose I should not leave your pics in my album!
I also converted them to sRGB, it looks better on the screen.

Re: At the zoo
Robbie, Nice shots. I see someone is disturbing the tiger's lunch.
Jonathan, thanks for the PP. I'll do it on the big files before resizing them. Got to learn sooner or later. Thanks again. I like them
