Number 2 is my favorite. Super sharp with great bokeh. What lens did you use?

These were all taken with a Canon 100-400mm IS. The gorillas were my favorite of the day. The group moved down the hill and stayed within a nice viewing distance. The male seemed to enjoy watching the crowds.

Nice set...love the lowland gorilla; nice expression and the small one is too cute. My only nit with the beautiful flamingo would be to de-center it a bit for comp's sake. Other than that, a very nice series.

Thanks, y'all.

Stephen, I'll try playing around with the flamingo shot to see if there is enough room to modify the composition.
