Great captures Bernz especially the one throught glass. I was at the zoo this week over here and tried through glass but nowhere near as good as this. They are all excellent buddy. Great work.

Dave.

Bernz these are fantastic. The first one is a spectacular capture, the round face is just gorgeous. The cotton-top Tamarin looks so cool with the tuft of hair sticking up. Angela

Bernz, you're back! And with some great shots...these are really wonderful. That first one takes the cake for me. But they're all good as always. I hope you had a great time.
