    Hey there Gus..........awwwww Steve Irwin would be proud thumb.gif

    I gotta fess up, I look at those Eels and all I can think about is this one word "SMOKED" ... I know it's wrong to think of them like that, but gawwd I could go one of them I could rolleyes1.gif

    Bout that Kangaroo, I was checking out his credentials, as he is so willingly displaying them, and I was wondering...... you think he's legal ????
    I mean he could be a ring in ya know ne_nau.gif

    Theres something about going to Wild Life Centres and Zoo's, I have a year pass to the Melbourne Zoo, and tommorrow I get to spend the whole day there whooohooooo!!!

    I share your joy of animals Gus, thanks for a brilliant series, they all look great thumb.gif ....... Skippy (Australia)

    All of them are really nice. I don't think I've ever heard of a tree kangaroo before.

    Great series, very well done.

    I'm very impressed by the sizes of the freshwater eels, never seen them so big.
    I have seen, catch and eaten saltwater eels bigger than those, but never seen a freshwater eels with a diameter bigger than my wrist.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I agree, the pelican is really nice. Those eels are incredible, you sure they aren't shrieking eels? :D

    Tks for looking everyone...eels taste very oily & often muddy if that is the water they come from. Ive never tasted one from clear water.

    I just wish i had the sun come out for the day. It only came out for 2 shots umph.gif I shot most of them with the 400 thus had to sit on ISO800 for the day.

    Always nice to see exotic animals we don't have in the states. Here are a coupld of thoughts...

    high stress job - is a GREAT capture. Love it! The tilted horizon works perfectly.

    Pelican - is very visually interesting, nice tight crop, I like it.

    I think the croc with the flie on his snout would be a great example of Extreme Crop for the Assignment #6



    Love the photos!!!
