Let's See Your Best from the Zoos and Aquariums

[Markw]

Id love if you would post what you think your best zoo/aquarium photos are on here. They don't necessarily have to be the most sharp, but they should have that little something that makes them unique and awe-inspiring. They don't even really have to be of the animals spectators are good too. If you could post camera/lens/tripod specifics as well, that'd be great. Feel free to post as many as youd like. I'd love some inspiration.

Thanks,
Mark
