Gday guys,
Have just arrived home from a 3 week tour of NSW's east coast and the blue mountains area. Starting to work through some images.

Thought i'd start at my zoo images, while in Batemans Bay we went to Mogo zoo heres just a couple.
Photography was very difficult and dealing with the thick mesh they use was almost impossible. Ill try playing with the tiger image to get rid of the strip across the middle as thats about my Favorite.

Bengal Tigers


White Lion


African Lion


CC welcomed

Cheers

What a bummer about that mesh... I know it would really put me off going there...

But you did really well.... those first two shots would be brilliant if the mesh wasn't there... Love the third one also..

adame - what a shame about the thick mesh. You have done well in view of the circumstances.

Bengal Tigers look very interesting to me

Wonder if the Lion, is the Father of the young male at Adelaide Zoo

Tough conditions, needed a can of mat black paint..Last one for me.

Some fantastic images. Love no. 1 and 2. No. 1 is kind of dreamy...

Not sure about that Fozzie, but we did speak to the keepers and saw his brother and sister, which are both very dark in coloration like him.

Bengals are a very cool looking cat, the two in the image are brother and sister and lounge around together like that all day long.

Would serve a dual purpose, get rid of the lines in the images and get the animals attention, possible side affects? getting kicked out

Nah, they would thank you for it..by the way you need to update your list of lenses in your tag..
When are you down next?

the last ones a great shot. looks a little unbalanced to me though. if i may suggest a little straightening and a closer crop on the left so the edges of the frame are equidistant from his eyes.

Yeah only realised that earlier myself, i dunno but were heading to monarto in the middle of the week or something when it's really quiet.

Ok some reworks.
Firstly the tigers, I think the result is a little dark and needs a few more adjustments but i think i've removed the mesh patterns well enough.


Next the white lion, A bit of mid tone burning and a levels adjustment was a lot quicker fix.


And finally a re-crop of the male African Lion as per Rooz sugetsion

excellent imo. love it like that. great eye contact and a powerful composition to match the subject. btw: looks like you did something funky to the revised version, the sharpness or colour or something is out ??

Ahh missed the old sharpen step

the first pic makes it rather stylish. Really nice tones achieved!
