Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Taronga Zoo Mar 07 - Snow Leopard again

Well, yesterday was Mrs Losfp's birthday so we went to the zoo (quick tip, the zoo lets you in for 90c if it's your birthday!!! I believe this offer is for the zoo's 90th birthday, and lasts until about July)

We went a few weeks ago, and were treated to an amazingly active display by the Snow Leopards. Well, I'm happy to report that this time (first thing in the morning at 9am), they were even MORE active. The two cubs were having a good old time playing with each other. And by playing, I mean jumping on top of each other from a great height and biting! Excellent value, and I could have watched them all day.

Unfortunately due to the lighting conditions, most of my shots of the "action" were way too blurry to post.. However, I got a couple more nice shots of them when they were sitting still.

It's funny, the last 3 times I have been, they have been progressively more interesting :) First time I saw them, I think the cubs were still pretty young, and you didn't see much more than a twitching tail at the top of the enclosure, if you were lucky.
