Just going through mine now. Damn annoying that I lost all the reptile house shots. I was quite pleased with some of the closeups from in there.

Before photoshop, as in straight from the camera.

After photoshop. Smart sharpened, levels adjusted, de-noised the background.

Edited version looks great. Shame about that blue piece of whatever it is in the background.

lol Neither did I!

Great shot pete. He was a character wasn't he.

The PP work you've done has done the shot a great amount of justice.

We could do with more people posting up before and after shots, to just show how much PP can improve a shot (and is a necessity if you shoot RAW).

I love that shot of the heffalumps too :thumbs: Great work:)

Elephant shot is really nice. The sense of size of the Mom is great. I love how B&W really brings out the texture of their skin.

Some interesting shots here Pete, but that first one from post #13 I love. Awesome tonal range & contrast - but still tons of detail, and check out those rockin' grains! Really nice composition, too - although I might be tempted to try a square crop, see how it looks (I think the off kilter "inner square" would make it work v. well) Ace :)

Great shots Pete, that sealion shot is pretty sharp :eek: & I love the framed meercat :lol:
Really great set, pity about the reptile house ones but I'd definately be happy with these :clap:

Cheers mate :) I just can't stop laughing at the marmot "You did what to my BMW?" :D

That framed meerkat is fantastic, never saw them near the inside part, they were all sunbathing when we got around to them.
