A very nice set Nicholas
- The Lemur and Hippo shots are my favourites, but the Baboon is a cracker too!

Nice set.
Beautiful looking tigers
A couple are erring on the side of oversaturated colours though.

really like the tiger cub shots, the one hiding in the bushes is real nice they seem to make a nice subject, when were the cubs born? as i would like to visit and snap a few shots myself

Thank you, i tend to oversaturate animals most of the time i must find it pleasing for some reason. it's only when i look at them a month later i can see it haha

I shot their last august and they were 12 weeks old then. Because they are a super rare kind of tiger other zoos really want them and the head keeper has to choose what zoos they go too. I'm sure he said that it could be up to 2 years before they are ready to leave their mum so there is still time but i would imagine that they are quite bit bigger now
