    Excellent set Skippy. You can't see the zoo in the shots so they really work.

    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!"

    I like the Lioness the most :-)

    And for some reason they all seem to me to be on a dark side (underexposed) a bit, no?

    Cheers, Maxine!

    The de Bazzer Monkey was taken with my old Sony F828, and through glass too, I like to watch them and wonder what they are thinking.
