i really like the second last shot, of the duck. The ripples and the reflections make me dizzy. i like the effect.

and i noticed that tiger's teeth, yuk! they're all worn away!

Nathan, yes the duck has that effect on me as well if you look at it for awhile, not sure why but yeh was different and took it on the run while following the fella's. They were on the trott making a Bline to the tiger and i stopped to look over the bridge to see this so shot and moved on.

The poor tiger well i would say they have ground her teeth down and is a pitty as spoils the pics.

BBJ,

No. 2 of the lioness yawning is my pick. Great shot.

Cheers

Thanks Michael, yes it is 1 of mine as well, as i am just going through some of the pics now and i am happy with them.

The cats are all good, but really cool duck photo!

Now BBJ, th echallenge was to ge the macaws facing us and to show their gold colour underneath..tuff suckers to photograph in flight, much harder than your bikes. THe duck photo turned out well. Where are the primate shots?

Hey BigV, yes they were lets say bloody hard i do have a shot but not a good 1 might post it sometime, and now and slowly going through the shots now so will post a PT2 soon. i enjoyed the day though thanks and i will be back up in 3 months time again for more docs so you can guess where i am going

A bird shot for you Tony, 1 of them not the best.

And a furry friend, but not our Fozzie!!

BBJ - very well done. The duck is the pick of the crop IMO, simply stunning colours. Need some more practice at shooting the McCaws, see you in 3 months time

BBJ wow I love all these shots,, now I wanna find a zoo around the sunshine coast, preferable not steve erwins zoo,,, to damn expensive to get in,

Thanks Fozzie and Suzanne, yes i guess they are a bit to get into but i think Fozzie and BigV like others find it cheaper to become a member for the year with unlimited access so go anytime you want. Wont take long to get your money's worth back.

I think if i lived in Adelaide this is what i would do as it was very nice to just go for the day and would spend some time there as out time did go quick. Very pleasant day had by the three of us and could see myself there a lot more if i lived there.

Anyhow i will be back in a few months time to have another go.
Cheers
John
Pt 2 will post soon.
