Default Went to the zoo...not your typical shots

The last time I shot these, they sucked big time.......It can be dicey shooting through the glass but these turned out pretty good given the circumstances.....I personally really like the last one....sorry in advance for those of you who find these things distasteful to look at.....I am not extremely fond of them myself but a good picture can be had in the right situation

Ooooh - the last one is awesome! Nice eye. And I would never have guessed there was glass there. Really nice job on that!

Sweet, Patrick. The last one is the coolest of the bunch. I love 'em. Shooting through the glass is tough, but you capitalized!! That second one's pretty slick too..lots of different textures.

Well done, sir!

I'm kind of weird in that I think snakes are really beautiful so I really enjoy this set. Your last shot is amazing, his eye looks like a jewel.

The last one is my favorite. Great shot! I also know how difficult it can be taking pictures through glass. I tried it this weekend at the aquarium and lets just say I finally gave up and just enjoyed the fish!

Wow! Patrick these are wonderful! You can't detect the glass at all. Nice sharp focus. That last one is awesome!
