Hey guys. Went to the city zoo because it's pretty much the only place to photograph 'wildlife' this time of year in Winnipeg! I would really appreciate critique on these. Thanks for taking a peek.

    Hope you had a good time at the zoo.
    Some zoo settings don't always seem to accommodate photography too well
    (it's hard to separate the animal from its zoo environment)
    You seem to have accomplished this though in some of your images,
    particularly in the Ringtail shot thumb.gif
