Default DFW Zoo Pictarsss!

Went to the Zoo last weekend... much better than the Dallas Zoo!

Enjoy...


































Shooting through the bars (hence the haziness):







I'm in a dilemma with this one... which edited pic do you prefer?



Or



Feedback welcomed as always.

lol Thanks Mark

And you're right.... I was turning into more of a picture instead of photography.

I really like the mood in the second pic though. hmmm.

I agree i like the first picture better something about the height of the photo but i do like the feel of the second so maybe give it that warm tone to the first pic and i think you will have a great photo not that it isnt already

I think the first one has more interest and also has a better exposure. Looks like you might have used a flash for some fill. The second one is too contrasty.

Over all nicely done.....looks like a great day at the Ft.Worth Zoo. That Zoo is the best one I've ever been to, except for the San Diego Zoo.

I do have to say though....some of those look as if you were at the regular Z meet !! I thought I recognized some of them pics as Z members.

It's a Nikon D70s. I used 70-300vr zoom lense.

Fort Worth Zoo.

You're right fithatmoto...I think I see quite a few Z members in those pics...
