Some more zoo pic's

[rpk]

Hi,

This is my first time posting. I'm kinda a newbie to DSLR's and got my first one last Jan, a Cannon Rebel XTI. Since then I've added a couple of lens and have been doing a lot of reading and practicing, so any C&C is welcome. Anyway, I enjoy photographing wildlife and here are a few from Tampa's Lowery Park Zoo. All shot with the 70-200mm f/4L IS USM.

I like them all esp #5, my only thought is his ear is clipped off a bit but the shot still is great imo.......

Thanks,
Thats what happens when I'm not paying attention while taking the picture, I didn't notice until I uploaded it to the computer . Next time I'll take a little more time and pay more attention.

I tend to do the same thing from time to time. But since I recently started getting my shots printed, I am trying to leave room around the frame to allow for the crop that comes with printing.....

Thanks, I'm still trying to learn to use the camera so hopefully future shots will get better. I went out last weekend and took a few and when I got home and uploaded them I was quite disappointed with what I shot. So I've spent some more time reading and will try and get out tomorrow.

Thanks again for every ones comments,
Ross

1. I would try and remove some of the cyan/warm it up a bit. If taken in raw adjust your tempture. If jpeg play with levels and or curves.

4. I would try to brighten the eyes up a bit and bring them out more. Emphasize the catch lights and they will draw you in more to his face.

Great shots though.
