Edinburgh Zoo

Took a trip to the zoo today for Valentine's Day with my woman, just taking a break now before dinner so I thought I'd pop these up here. All taken on my K10D with my manual focus 135mm f/3.5 lens.

The otters are my favorite if you can't tell:

1)

2) The crows kept trying to get the otters' fish:

3) But this one was not having any of it and took matters into his own hands.. paws... claws?

4)

5)My girlfriend's favorite animal

6)My favorite picture of the day. Domination, or kicked out?

Isn't your girlfriend's favourite animal a Capibari?
Looks like one!
That one's the sharpest photo you got.
A pity that there is sooo much motion blur in the otter photos.

That chimpanzee and the background somehow look ... "not right" . You wouldn't expect snow-covered mountains where you expect to see them .

I like the "domination or kicked out?"-photo for how open that one is to interpretation . The light was not so much on your side though, yesterday, was it?

Thanks Corinna, and no the light has been terrible around here. I was hoping since we went later in the afternoon that I would get some golden hour goodness, but it was terribly overcast all day into the night. Oh well, zoo photos aren't so serious anyway, haha.
