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.

 

[petemc]

Didn't spot that. Doh!

 

[Marcel]

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 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

I love that one too. ISO3200 on my 30D in black and white is just so lush. Rubbish in colour but great in b&w

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

 

[petemc]

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

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