Assiniboine Park Zoo, Winnipeg, Mb.

I left this image as it came out of the camera. I took a second image of the Snow Leopard just after this and used the shadow/highlight function and the levels effect from CS3 but the image lost the mystery and moody feel that I sense as I viewed this picture. D70s f5.6 1/500 300mm Taken March 17, 2009.

Ring Tailed Lemur. I forgot to set the aperture at f4.5 but I liked the pose (shot through double link fence).

Very nice collection. Those zebras look reactionary.

the last is very nice. the second picture is a delet picture for me. dont see any point in posting real good picture, and this very bad picture.

The Snow Leopard certainly does look atmospheric, also sad that the shadows of the enclosure are shown across his body, reflecting the captive element of the picture.
I particularly admire the picture of the Grants Zebras - the differing colouration adds to the attraction.

I like the low light of the OP. Good Zoo series.

The OP and the Zebras are my favorite Jan.

About the only way I get to a zoo is through pictures here. Good shots, Jan. I think I heard an article on the radio about your zoo, but I forget what animal was discussed.

The top two are rather too unsharp; nevertheless, I still like the OP the best of the lot because it is very atmospheric and somehow mysterious. I also like the last pic with the yawn you have captured.

Good series, Jan. I, also, like the OP the best. Zoos are fascinating, and difficult, places to photograph.

I like the OP the best, sad and moody. Then I like very much the ordered confusion of the zebras. I made a series in the Zoo of Lisboa, will post some on PC too.
