That shot of the tiger is superb. He's in motion and sharp which is always a challenge at the zoo.

Good shots Technik. I Think they are all good. And yes especially the tiger - it's the glare of the eyes. Cheers, Mick

I like all three. The tiger shot is a corker. The gorilla looks like an old man looking at the passing world from his doorway.

Thanks for the comment. This was my first attempt taking wild anminal shots, it was pretty diffcult as their movements were unpredictable.

All shots were taken by Nikon 80-200 2.8D lens. Though it does not have the VR option, it is a great zoom lens! :lol:

The camel shot is my favourite of these.

The stray leg in the last one spoils it slightly I think.

The last shot is classic - you could even call it ”Pondering the leg-over” :lol:

Ooooh the monkey!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like that photo.

The tiger is also very good but if it had a chimp in it, it would have been better

jk

I swear he posed for you

How much grass and weed you gave to the gorrilla for him to pose for you seriously??

Excellent work, especially the camel.
