Wow you did well to get the focus right on the first one especially with f2. Is this a crop from your original or was the lion close to you.

Love the 3rd chimp shot. Great capture and processing.

thanks surenj, i was surprised how many turned out actually and how sharp they were. i would have taken about 40 odd and around 50% were perfectly focussed. which was surprsing to me given its thru glass, (pretty grubby too), at f2 and the exposure was very tricky. they are not cropped at all, he was no more than 2m away from me, (glass in between of course !). first time i've seen the tiger move like that in the last dozen or so visits.

Whilst all of these are good, number 4 is the stand out - has that "moment" about it

Rooz - all very nice captures, well done.

Sumatran Tiger #1 - excellent eye contact, in motion with right foot elevated.

I have to agree with others, the steeler of the show is #4 - Chimp, capturing the moment of affection to her young :)
