Stopped by a small free zoo today in Aurora , IL... Not a lot there but took a few shots... The hardest part was dealing with dirty, scratched glass enclosures... The lighting both natural and artificial were not in my favor...

Loved the b&w of the iguana and really loved the "kitty" picture.

I could have guessed by your profile pic that you have liked the kitty... :) Thanks

Some of the lighting worked in your favor. Number 2 looks like a dramatic studio shot. Nice job on all of them.

Thank you John :)
#2 is an underexposed shot by 2 full stops....Here is another shot to show what I was up against.. You can see the reflections in the glass and the background was not very appealing...

I didn't realize. You definitely made lemonade out of lemons. Nice job!

Wow, you really made some good photos out bad situations. I really had to look for that cougar.
