Laurie, all of these are great, the eye on the last one draws me into the picture.

[Roy]

Very nice Laurie! I like how you handled the back lighting too.

Thank you Dora and Roy, the sun was really bright and it was supposed to be cloudy but I was happy on how these came out.

Laurie, These are some of the best zoo shots I've ever seen. The madril shots are awesome.

Love the backlighting on the female Madril-great images!

I didn't know zoo shots could look that good - mine never do, lol. Great work.

Patti, Therese and Jeremy thank you so much for the kind words!

Those are great close-ups! My favorite is the female mandrill. She's looking right at you -- those eyes are dead on!

Laurie, The last one is just awesome for lack of a better word. Thats the picture I have been wanting to take everytime I go to the zoo. Really enjoyed your pics. Thanks

[snidow]

Thank you Mike, Suzy and Billy for taking the time to view and comment!

These are wonderful Laurie! I’ve got to make a trip to the Zoo this year. Hope I can get some as nice as these here in Houston with my 80-200.

Beautiful photos!! Not sure why the last one isn't labeled... just in case you were unsure of the bird, it's a Scarlet macaw. :)
