Good set, I do like the composition of the second image very much, the path from the cross to the lighthouse works very well.

You're right about #1. It is (by normal measures) out of focus because the 'standard' rule is to focus on the nearest pupil.
But in this case it works extremely well. It somehow adds an intimacy that would not be there otherwise.

This is a very good set. Curious about #1. I keep going back to it. Did you purposely focus on the hand/paw?
Thanks Alan. Yes of course I did !This is a very good set. Curious about #1. I keep going back to it. Did you purposely focus on the hand/paw?
No I am still kicking myself for not taking more shots to make certain I hit focus on the eyes (but he moved off quickly so ...), as you can see at that distance with a 300mm there is only a few mms to play with. The fingers look good though

Great set here, Lemurs seem to be a very curious and sociable breed. #2 and 10 are my personal favourites. There's a walk-through Lemur enclosure at Blackpool Zoo, though the light is rarely as favourable as this!
Thank you DCG. Yes, they are indeed. I actually thought it too bright but better than overcast I suppose !Great set here, Lemurs seem to be a very curious and sociable breed. #2 and 10 are my personal favourites.

Excellent set froggy. Sharp details and photogenic subjects Love the first two, and rather like the expression in number four...
Thanks Matt - they are incredibly photogenic creatures. As well as being remarkably placid - even when their neighbour steals the piece of fruit they were eating !Excellent set froggy. Sharp details and photogenic subjects Love the first two, and rather like the expression in number four...

The Shanghai Wild Animal Park has an island solely for Lemurs, cages only for pregnant or nursing mothers, these were taken whilst walking amongst them.

The build quality of the 17-50 has been questioned, but it does come with a 5 year warranty.
What Alan said. All quality lenses, some of those are outstanding.10-24, 17-50, 28-75, 70-200, 90 macro are all quality lenses I believe. And all f2.8 except the 10-24.

The 70-300 is an amazing value for money lens.
