Simpo's been to the zoo

[simpo two]

Yes, the usual collection of fluffy animals sitting on branches eating bits of apple and looking cute. So I tried to find something a bit different:

and a closer crop:

and another 'paws for thought':

That's such a 'human' image.

I'm sure I've seen that big ape driving a Scooby at Vmax.

Nice pics

The expression on that chimps face is priceless! Like them both a lot.

#2 is stunning, great shot

Thanks guys, I thought it might bring out the mothering instinct

I took several similar ones but most were slightly spoiled by a little camera shake. At 250-300mm, f5.6 was not really fast enough. Perhaps I should have opted to lug the 70-200 f2.8 around, but decided the 300mm would be more useful than the f2.8!

Moral: No matter how many lenses you have, you always need more!

Love the second one, beautifully observed.

Wonderful images. Its quite spooky how human like they are.

Here's another, in colour this time. Most of the close-ups are too shaky for publication!




Mother and baby again. I like the symmetry of this one:


Fennec fox at feeding time:


And a Red Panda chilling out

The first one is brilliant imo and the crop even better.
Those ears on the baby!.... reminds me of me at that age. No wonder i got picked on
Also i love the way the b&w brings out the carachter, especially in the fingers.

I like the elephant one a lot, maybe you could select the background and give a bit more blur as I think the rocks in the background are a little distracting.

Reminds me of a couple of people in F1

Any Suggestions ?

Could look nice in b/w, except for baby and banana in colour...
