Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi All, went to town the other week to see Fozzie and a visit to the zoo and well as usual lots of shots but here is just a few from my time there, a lot i have not gone through to play with and was just a nice day out with the guys and even the Canon brigade turned up like BigV but good day.

Image
This shot at 300m at F2.8,ISO 800, 1/80 sec as i had the Nikon 300m f2.8 lens on the monopod in the dark area where all the snakes are kept.

Very attractive Baboon shot, nice facial expression and lovely light in the eyes - done well through the glass.

Nice indoor in the dark through the glass shot of the reptiles (aways get the type mixed up) like DOF fade with bodies but would like focused snouts (but I undestand near impossible in situ).

BBJ - Nicely done big fella :) For me, the Mandrill is the pick of the crop.

IMHO: you need to spend more time in Adelaide to capture all the 'BIG CATS' at the Adelaide Zoo :wink:
