You need to check the suggestion box more often, where is the wolf :greenpbl:

Very nice! Especially the cougar portrait.

bribrius · May 18, 2014

is there anyway you can some how get that gorilla mad next time you shoot him so we can see him all amped up and ready to kick azz.?

take away a banana or something?

Wow! That puma shot is something else, as is the sleeping Jaguar. And that gorilla might as well have found the meaning of life and all, reminds me of "The Thinker". :lol:

Cool shots.

Love #2 (cougar). Thanks for sharing.

I Like the Puma and the Robin. I always figured I'd get a Sandhill Crane first, because there's a gazillion of them around here. Nope, got Herons and Egrets and Buzzards but no Sandhill Cranes!

ETA: Yet!!

Very nice - like some of the others, the cougar shot is my favourite.

These are all brilliantly done. Just beautiful...no push or pull on any favourites. They are all excellent shots. I like the expression of the gorilla too. And if we can see closer, perhaps we can see you in the eyes of the cougar shot too. Is there a way you can remove/shorten that bit of hair falling down his eyes? Just asking...

Beautiful set, very impressive. Ed

Shouldn't that last one be posted in the "Post a picture of yourself" or the "Self portrait" threads?

very sharp images btw.

Thanks folks. Izzie, I'll see if I can get the eyelash out of there and repost sometime tonight.

Lol - well I didn't make the safari park yesterday but I'll see if I can head out there next weekend. They've got a lot of room to roam around in and the area is pretty heavily wooded so sometimes it takes more than one trip to get a shot or two, but with any luck I'll see if we can't snag a snap or two

They really are goofy birds I've noticed. Not quite as whacky as the pelicans but a darn close second. I was on my way around to the back side of the lake when I had a group of them just wander out into the middle of the road, and then stay there right in front of the car - lol. Couldn't get them to move for love or money.
