#1 - Elephant Closeup

#2 - Monkey Relaxing in a Tree - There was a chain link fence about 10 feet away from me that I had to shoot through, so I used a shallow DOF (2.8) and was quite pleased with the outcome.

#3 - Monkey in a basket - Same difficulty as above--this time with a net between us. The background 'texture' is the net--again, shot with f/2.8.

#4 - Shoebill Storks - Apparently we're only 1 of a hand full of zoos that have them.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Zoos are fun when you get moody for color and diversity. Well done! Love the elephant also, but if you cropped it, I think a little more trunk and less on the left side where there isn't much detail anyway, would be good.
