Friends,

Starting out in photography, I like shooting just a hobby for now, I would like to get some feedback... positive / negative .. everything helps.

Thanks for your time.

Very nice! I love going to the zoo and taking pictures of the animals.

Cool pictures. Which camera are you using? Did you edit these shots?

I went to the zoo on the weekend (in australia though!) and your shots are HEAPS better than mine! I am really jealous I especially love your peacock - gorgeous!

In order to get the full benefits of the critique section we have offered a set of guidelines to read. They offer all kinds of wonderful info, including information we all need about your photos that should be included.
Knowing info such as: your camera settings, more about your photo, your likes and dislikes and what you want help with, will only help us to help you better!

Thank you in advance for your post and editing it! If you should need help with that, just holler

You are quite lucky.. I was there couple of weeks back myself. For my dismay, it was a holiday weekend for all the animals, I guess! They were either sleeping or hidding themeselves from us

Firstly, I am not a critique but like you I am learning too. If you ask me, I would have tried to crop that black spot on bottom right and bring her to left (2/3rd rule). It will look better, composition wise.


Let's get more detail from experts here. Happy shooting!!!

I think one of my post was deleted - Camera details and settings.

All of those shots were taken using Pentax k-x and the 55-300 kit lens, mostly at 300 MM.

Shutter Speed - 1/400
Aperture - f5.6
ISO 100-800 (White leopard and Gorilla - 800) - everything else in 100 to 250 range.
