Cats from Mogo
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

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..  The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list...
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 
fozzie
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. Please don't use or edit my images.

Would serve a dual purpose, get rid of the lines in the images and get the animals attention, possible side affects? getting kicked out  Please don't use or edit my images.

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.

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 ??
