Now, that is both amazing and dangerous looking, Sury.
I like them and Sigma 17-35 did well, in my opinion.

Thank you Yildiz and Valery.

Heavily cropped and how I wish I had my zoom.



Few more friends


A bit close up.

The alligator shots are really good, Sury.
As you said, a zoom lens would have produced better photos of the birds...

Yes. The Komodo dragon was inside in a not so well lit room. So I resorted to HDR, a technique that came to my rescue not only
in bright light, even in the dim lit place (who would have thought).



A crop of the previous image. Not too bad, IMHO.


This is the largest croc in the display, called Maximo. https://www.alligatorfarm.com/maximo/

Good details and even light diffusion indeed, Sury. HDR worked.

Sury! Good shots.

Yildiz, Valery,
Thank you. So far on the tour I was very happy with my lens choice. Soon I started to regret not having my zoom, but took help of high speed shooting on A99M2. I was impressed with the speed with which it locks on moving target. You can my other thread.
42MP to rescue not good, just good enough.
