If you want some constructive criticism put some images in the C&C section of the photo galleries. You will get honest feedback so don't be scared lol.

Pain in the arse getting pics through wire fencing hand held, seen one lady using a tripod for hers.

Peccaries, but there not related to the pig family.

Wonderful shots! A particularly nice one of the peccaries, comp and focus wise. Yep, fencing can be a pain.

Tassie Devil wasn't being cooperative,

Ran outta room for this one because the telephoto lens was on, so yeah were missing a tail. He's getting a nectar/suger treat.

Not complaining It's still a nice pic with a story to it.

Nope. I just get close to one of the holes and hope the focus on the the subject has a shallow enough dof that the fencing itself if barely noticeable.
