five shots is a bit much for C&C .. try to limit it to 2 or 3!

#1.. would have been better with the lens up against the glass.. to minimize all the junk on the glass. Just a snapshot in appearance.. could use a crop to get rid of annoying black area on right and to show more duck. WB looks off.. can't even tell what color the duck is supposed to be. Not much else to say...

#2 looks underexposed.. chain link is distracting.. as is white PVC pipe

#3 animal shots look better typically when you show all of the animal... or at least all of the animal part that you are shooting.. don't cut off head, part of head, limbs, etc.. grass in foreground is very distracting.

#4 not bad.. best of set.. should have shot it horizontally... or left more room on sides for a vertical composition.

#5.. see #3 above

Perfect, less pics would be easier, sorry. The duck was that color and unfortunately was right against the glass so I had to be back a bit.

I see what you mean about cutting parts of the animal off, would look better if the bears feet showed and there was more room around the goat (sides), and the top of the elphants head.

I was playing with the WB all day as some areas were indoors and some were not and it was a cloudy day to boot. Pretty new to this camera and shooting other than snaps so thank you for the C&C.
