All shot through glass at Twycross zoo, with the sun in my eyes.
(Best excuse I've had in a long time )

Magnificent animals and you've caught some cracking poses. I particularly like the first water shot.

I'm only viewing on an iPad but (with the exception of the last) they look a bit over sharpened ?

 

[Daysleeper40]

Great set - I really like the second to last but they all work great as a sequence.

 

[LCPete]

Yep great set really like them all but the last portrait is stunning

 

[new2me]

Nice set there fella
Were these taken from inside the food hall, or after entering the zoo?

Thanks Phil
And looking at them again I see what you mean, I really need to change these glasses
They are quite heavilly processed to negate the filthy glass and the glare of the sun on that glass.
Thanks for taking the time to comment its appreciated

And yes from the food hall, the glass was filthy and the sun burning brightly.... nightmare

Well I suppose that works, you need all the help you can get with your excuses
Poor little cub in the 5th that's gotta hurt

Not bad I suppose but a change to Nikon might help

 

[andyred]

Great set of shots, especially if through glass and into the sun. Cracking details.
Think number 2 is my favourite - great reflection as well.

 

[Cobra]

Absolutely

I'm always up for a challenge
but the sounds like a severe handicap to me
Thanks for dropping by Ingrid

I guess I could take an inch or so off the side, to put the subject more on a third,
but I quite like it central in this TBH

You also need a certain degree of intelligence to know how to spell.
Some great shots there Cobra.

Hahaha brilliant set and as normal good narrative.

I think the Cats are lost in the BG (sorry) - I'm thinking it a camouflage thing, all except the last shot, which is splendid the colour of those eyes is amazing a wonderful portrait of a magnificent animal

well shot

Nice set Chris. The last one is my favorite but they are all good. That look in #4 looks like our two wildcats (tabbys) playing!

I trust you are (all) well?
As for the cats, yes there is a look of "feline" about them isn't there?
