So I'll make the excuses first. The lighting sucked, it was cloudy all day, I have a soft lens, I need a lens with more reach, I couldn't focus through fences, the glass was dirty, I'm a beginer, I think thats it, lol.

So here they are! With that crap in mind let me know what you think! lol

    The 3rd and 6th shots are the strongest and don't look like they were taken at a zoo. Zoo shooting is tough because of the bars, screens and glass between you and your subject. The colors look good and the pics are fairly sharp for the shooting conditions.

    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!"

    Well, it's still a nice serie. A bit PP could fix a lot.
    I think if you browse around in this forum, you might get some additional ideas about composition.
