These were taken from the Zoo meet up yestrday..

Now, they are seriously good! Can I pick your brains? I am thinking of getting a good lens that I can keep when I finally upgrade to a full format and I don't know which should I get the 100 - 400 L IS or the 28-300 L IS, my camera is a 30D.

The 100-400 hands down - extra reach and works wonders with the 30D

These are sensational Big V!

Love that Bee eater. What's the streky background? cage?

The Lion should be on the cover of National geographic!

the Bee Eater is a stunner- cant believe its eating a bee! great capture- did it capture it or was it fed??

Virgs,

Another excellent series of shot from the day. Could not get any better conditions than we had late afternoon.

The Bee Eater has stolen the show. Looked very good in camera, but excellent after PP

Oh Wow! So sharp and so much detail.

The bee eater is my favourite but I agree the lion could easily grace the cover of National Geographic.

Thank you Big V.

well said zaf. what a treat these are. 2/4 are awesome. would love a link to some larger ones pls.

You certainly have the technical quality side of photography under control. These are superb!The last 2 in particular are fine art images and could hang in any gallery. If anything, I would consider maybe whitening the teeth in the last image ever so slightly to give them more prominence.

The Bee Eater was feeding all by itself. We were lucky that it ate around a dozen or so and was landing on the same branch for most of the time. Yes the background is the cage, which is also in front. Not sure if I can bring myself to whiten the teeth - that may be cheating

These are great BigV, especially that lion.

If you wish to view larger samples, then you may wish to visit this gallery of mine..
