Nice shots Pauline. You seem very close to that tiger.

I like the first one the best. Keep them flooding in.

Cheers,
Bernz

I love taking photos in zoos, don't you? You get chances you never would in the wild. A great set of photos I love the giraffes I could sit and watch them for hours.

Looks like a lovely day out at the zoo and your captures of the lovely animals are great. Your white balance on the swan is perfect, time to count the feathers. I lover your tiger picture and how nice to get the giraffe family together. Great work Pauline. Thanks for sharing your day at the zoo.

Dave.

Thankyou Bernz. Just got my Canon S5 IS back today from it's trip to the Dr's, so hopefully will get the chance for a few good shots in the next couple of days.

Thanks heaps Heaterguy. Yes he was playing the part rather well. Pity he didn't keep his feathers clean for the occasion.

Hi Michele. The Zoo certainly is a wonderful place to get up close to the animals, though the Tiger was actually behind glass. LOL I'd have made a tasty treat otherwise.
