A day at the zoo.

A while back I asked for help taking sports pictures of my grandkids. As always, you folks came thru with excellent advice and other suggestions. Well I finally got a chance to go to a small local zoo today and took some pictures. The weather was great, and some of the animals were very cooperative. My biggest challenges were the chain link fences, and the dirty glass separating them from us.

I know these shots are no where near the quality of the pictures I see here everyday, but these are, at least for me, pretty dam good. Hope you enjoy looking at them, as much as I did taking them.

Thanks

Thanks Jerry,
I was hoping to get some feedback, but even though I didn't make my intentions known when I posted it, I didn't think I had too since the pictures were posted in the correct forum.

Thanks again

The lizard and the alligator are my favorites! FYI, both should be on a leash and have a muzzle!

The lizard and the alligator have good details and I like the head shot of the lioness. We go frequently to Cleveland's zoo.

Thanks George,
Out of all the shots I took those two were the sharpest.

The "lizard" was actually a Komodo Dragon! He was about 10' long!

Thank you!
The lioness was napping right in front of the viewing window, I was about 12" from her!
