He might wanna keep the branches in there cuz the giraffe has some of the veggies in its mouth but a lot of peopel prolly won't notice that so maybe those branches should go.

I think the giraffe pic is probably the best one overall.

Nice pics! I took my girlfriend to SD for our anniversary last year and went to the animal park and had a blast.

Went to the Honolulu Zoo today, just to practice photography. Been meaning to for the longest time. Wanted to snap tigers, but they were mostly asleep and behind fences that were a few feet away, so I couldn't really get right up to the fence with large aperture. No eagles also. The lions were a no show.

I think it's called "sarcasm." I don't think he was being serious at all. But... if he was being serious... let 'em hate. Everybody's entitled to an opinion.

But to the others, thanks for the comments.

I went down on Sunday to take pics, too, but couldn't find parking. Between the craft fair, soccer and the Jack Johnson concert, didn't feel like walking miles. Maybe next month.
