Took my d70 for an outing to Melbourne for the weekend. Got a couple shots of the big kitty drinking at the zoo.

Got a few more taken at the zoo and aquarium but haven't really looked thru them yet.


Comments welcome please.

Well done John. Both are very sharp and well composed. I like them.

Nice Kitty,

Great shots there jd,

The reflection adds a bit to the last one too. Is that the Bengal Tiger ?

Mic.

Great shots, the colouring is brilliant and the reflection adds to the shot, well done!

Bob.

The 2nd shot is a terrific composition, John. The reflection sets it on another level. Well seen and captured!

Alex and Rob, thanks for the comments.

Mic, Bob and Kerry, thanks for the comments as well and yes, I agree the reflections add to the pic. I got a heap more with and without relections, but I prefer the ones with the reflections.

Mic, this was taken near the section of the zoo where the elephants and other Asian exhibits are, so my guess is that it's a Bengal Tiger. Too interested in getting the shots to really take notice of what the signs said. I guess I should have taken a shot of the sign. Film is cheap after all.
