Congratualtions to Prieni. This was my favourite too, followed very closely by Darkmunk.


I hope to be able to take part in the competitions again soon, now that the DIY is coming to an end. As Peter says, they do force you ( well, me ) to try harder and focus ( forgive the pun )on the subject in question.

Apologies, I haven't posted.
We are decorating at home at the moment and I haven't had a moment.
Can't even remember where my camera is, as it has been put safely away
I must remedy that soon.

I agree with Aiki. I, too, have very few archive photos, which is one of the reasons I haven't entered recently. I haven't had any real "camera time" to shoot specifically for the competitions. Or anything else for that matter.

Anyone know where I can find an extra day for the week. Seven just aren't enough anymore

Don, I missed this thread, but my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I think it works pretty well: I love that sky!

Lovely light, worth waiting for. But, I've got to agree with Paul, those railings are a little distracting.(IMHO)

I wondered how long before someone said that

Wonderful creatures. There were a few babies, but they wouldn't stay still long enough for me to snap them.

Short and sweet..that sounds like the voice of an expert

It's the first time I've been and I'm only 30 mins away

We actually took the kids to an aerial adventure park ( like a giant climbing frame ), in the grounds and only had access to the entrance areas to the park. There were no restrictions in this area and I don't think there are in other areas. I don't know if you can get out of your car to set a tripod up though. Certainly not in the lion enclosure

There is also a safe route past the monkeys so your car doesn't get damaged

Nope, you are right regarding the bird. i remember seeing the name tag when I was looking. I just forgot when I was giving it a filename.
