Default Smithsonian National Zoo

Hello DPS community!

Figured I'd try sharing some shots. =) They were taken at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington DC during the past summer. I really enjoyed my time there and highly recommend it!

Orangutan


Bald Eagle


Giant Panda


Enjoy! =)

Andy..WELCOME to DPS
These are an amazing way to begin here. The orangs are so much fun to watch, always comical.
The bald eagle and the panda captures are stunning shots...really well done.
Can't wait to see more of your work.

Andy, welcome to DPS! What wonderful portraits you've shared with us. I love the composition of the bald eagle and the orangutan -- very nicely done.
