Great shots, the colour looks a little wrong in them though, not sure if its down to WB or shooting through dirty glass etc.

First shot is awesome! I tried to photo a Jaguar yesterday but it was all the way up inside the enclosure, and a 200 lens just wasn't enough. I've been looking at 500 lenses today and they don't start cheap!

I've got some pics of big cats to upload tomorrow, so watch out for those

-2/3 just to kep the speed up for shrapness @f8 and h/held
the colour's look a bit dark but that how i wanted these as im about to do some A2 detailed pastel painting and i think the dark light adds to the pics.

the bigma (50-500 was all i could aford 4 years ago but makes a great zoo lens for the price.
