Howletts - Lemurs

[matt_wright]

Hi here are a selection of images I took at the Lemur Walk through at the Howletts Wild Animal Park (there are a few more on Fickr) - a fathers day trip out (just a few months late uploading)!
As always I appreciate comments (both positive and negative)

Thanks is advanced

Matt

Lovely shots, but for me, spoiled by the huge watermark...Sorry.

Thanks - Don't apologise re watermark - I'd rather know what people think. To be honest - the watermark is never anything I have thought too much about - it's not like it will ruin any printed images (I can look at doing a smaller one next time I export).

Any specific you (dis)like about any on the images?

Thanks

Matt

If I must find something, I would say give them a bit more space to breath or do not crop them so tight. Good photographs. Having said that I find it difficult to give "ticks" (likes) for captive animals. As an adult I have never been in a zoo, and do not intend to go to one either. Blah blah blah, I have no problem with animals being captive in order to save them from our human fellows making them extinct but not to go and watch them being behind a fence.

Thanks - appreciate the comment re not cropping so tight. I played around with a few of them - will certainly bear in mind next time.

Re zoo’s each to their own. I understand your view - Not sure why you would even read threads in this section if that’s how you feel. Like I say - everyone is entitled to their opinion - so it’s all good - I do appreciate the feedback.
Thanks

It is my two brain cells perhaps not functioning right. I rarely read a specific "section". I look at what are recent posts which show on the front page and then I read (as much or as little) from a thread that appears on the front page of the site. If you have posted the images in a section that was for captive animals or similar (I still have not checked) sincere apologies for the zoo related comments as that is unfair on you. I hope it helps a little

I don't mind the tight crops TBH.

1) I know how he feels

2) cute

3) yep That's exactly how they look at me too

5) love this one, its just a shame about the fore-ground, but as I always say, we have to play the cards we are dealt

Nice set Matt

real nice couple of captures there ... the watermark is more annoying than the pup being out of focus in the second though
