Thank you ckelley, RS, rdubreuil, Charlie157, ggttc, jeffstone123! Shooting at Brookfield can be a challenge in the lower / dim light for the indoor displays. But in nearly every display, there are no glass or chains to shoot through.

I generally don't like zoo pics (except for personal viewing) but these are very well done. Good job on composition and exposure, Paul.

Thank you kpmac! Zoo images can be a bit saddening when evidence of the enclosure is included. But, I'd never know of such animals otherwise.

These are great images but on my laptop they are so large I have to scroll down to see the entire image, so I can't really appreciate them.

Paul, excellent photos which is what I expect from your posts. I also thank you for your recommendation that I should keep my Canon 200mm L lens. I followed your suggestion and upgraded my Canon 70-300mm lens to the DO version. Thank you again for your photos and advice.
