Hi Pete
Lovely set.
Like them all.
Think you could use a little processing on them to bring out best.
Hope you don't mind - example (say and it's gone)

Thanks Chuck dont mind at all thats a big improvement
I struggle on photoshop
What did you do? looks much better esp contrast and colour than my effort
I just adjusted white balance, was way out (shooting through glass) then converted raw in DPP and sharpened in CS2

Great set Pete are the Tiggers through glass?
Love the Vulture also Darren
edit just saw you reply above
Glass does tend to "flatten" an image
and at times can be quite difficult to "recover"
depending on how dirty the glass is
the light ( strength and angle etc)

Darren - Lovely set. No1 for me.
Just as well the beasts in No6 were well penned in.
Pete
Just a small adjustment in curves and sharpen using high pass.

Yep that glass is a pain it gives shots a green cast thats a bugger to correct and piccies need loads of sharpening its that or thick wire that you cant get close enough to focus out:bang:Thanks Chuck

Love these two
You've really captured the size of the tiger and the exposure and detail on the vulture is fab.
Looks like you all had a great day.
I had many happy visits to Chester Zoo growing up in Warrington

Great shots guys, I'll try and get mine up sometime soon, but I've only just got in from the circus (long day!). Remind me next time to make it to the meeting point on time.

Well I'm in work from today til Tuesday, so I best get a few up before I forget! My laptop harddrive is full so I've only been able to cherry pick a few off the memory card that I remember liking while I was there:
...
1. "Did he see me? I think he saw me! Do I move? Arghhh I don't know!"
2. "For I am.. SPECTACLED BEAR, king of all these lands! Tell that to the lions you fool. Shut up mum."
3. "There's a carrot here somewhere, I can feel it!"
4. "Sneaky Sneaky Catchy Monke.. already dead piece of chopped meat. Can't help feeling I'm missing out here.."
5. "Dude! Someone just threw a stone at me!"
(Through glass)
6. " I have TWO swings?! Oh man, can it get any better?"
(Through glass)

Also, thanks to Pat for keeping me company all day. Was a little surreal spending all day with someone you've never spoken to or met before, but it was a pleasant day.
Thanks,
Ian
