Thanks Ken nice touch up

Maby consider a small LCD HD tv?

Well i aint no portrait photographer and I hate taking photos of people but ile put my 2 cents in.

I find the first picture the most pleaseing, What you have done makes the light look nice and I find the skin ok. Allthough I do agree it would be beter with more of her head/arms in.

IMO anyways. Thats a pretty lil grand daughter you got there. Whats the harm in grandad pampering her? LOL

Cheers J

Thanks for your comments J. You know ime allways appreciative of them wether you are a pro or not

Regarding the lens, I would like a 500mm but i cant afford one and tbh i was strugleing to hold the 300mm steady LOL.

As for the cheetah I got lucky with him, he came and sat right infront of me and stared at me through the glass window!

Penguins, well I tryed to get other angles but unfortunatly there was so many dam kids I couldnt move for love nor money!

And yes its a sea lion lol

Wish I had a chance to go on a safari, Ide happily sit and watch em for hours, Unfortunatly I dont think my ms would!

Ile have to look up Hammerton for my next venture

Coming back to the Liz hows this?

Thanks for that Info Al. Ile have a play tonight if I get time.

I tend to use photoshop for my PP but have been known to use picassa to.

Well I guess the horizontal lizzy wins then I should of set up a poll! LOL

Thanks for all the comments guys, The Lizard was actually climbing the wall when I took the snap (very enthusisasticly I might add!)

Thanks for the break down Aiki its very usefull and something to consider in future.

Dont know how to reduce the green without taking it from the lizard really :-s

also maby keep an eye out on SRS's seconds?

Welcome

LOL ok sorry guys, I got a lil carried away

@ Mike, Unfortunatly no I have no kids so i simply had to rely on my rather dodgy hands and the ocasional wall.

The Warthog is a River Hog (apparently)

I to like the shot of the Iguana and the one of the green lizards big head.
Also I liked the expression of the prairie dog.

But yes unfortunatly they were all (with the exception of the 2 birds) constrained shots, Shooting through glass or trying to avoid being knocked by hundreds of holidaying kids in the open!!

Main objective of me posting pics is really just to get a feel of whats good and whats bad, also improvements.

For instance pic 10 of the green lizard, I tryed to get the "rule of thirds" thing in it, Did I achive this or not? I dont know, ime still learning

Thanks all for comments thus far
