Jt the glass got you a little to much it this shot snake looks good but too much forground with the glass in all my trying I have NEVER got pass the glass :cry
Cool looking snake but a bit too much reflection in the shot. Thats what i hate about zoos there's always glass or wire in front of the best shots. Did you use a polarizer?

Yes, I agree with both of you on the glass problem. No, I did not use any type of filter. At least I wasn't bouncing a flash off the glass like most of the other folks at the zoo.
Do any of you know of any tricks is PS to remove or mitigitate the glass reflection?
Yep got 2 of those yesteray myself, couldn't work around the reflections. :cry
If someone knows of a process to help eliminate ref. I'd be interested too
Polarizer I tried but cut to much of my light which was bad to begin with, probably shoulda used bounce flash and polarizer rolleyes:D
to get "past" the glass, put the lens as close to the glass as
possible. Some use a rubber lens hood while others make cardboard
cutouts. Either technique allows you to block any reflection from the
glass.

Duhhhhhhhhh why didn't I remember that
Thanks we will being trying that soon
I have had good luck using a polerizing filter while putting the lens right against the glass at about a 30 degree angles and cupping my hand around the edge.
Here are a couple of examples shot that way at the San Diego Zoo
