I believe I would drop either the tiger (front paws cut off) or the flamingo (Normal everyday characteristic pose).
The little boy / lemur interaction really tells a story. The zebras intertwined necks signifies a closeness between them.
The butterfly I like but wonder if a little contrast should be added.
The gorilla's expression is quite meaningful as he watches people watching him/her.
Good luck in the competition.

As lovely as it is, I would eliminate the Butterfly, as personally, I would not associate a butterfly with a zoo.

I have to pick the best 5 of these (in other words, eliminate one). I'm looking for your consensus. Thanks.

I like the tiger and the young gorilla most.

Jerry G Loc: Waterford, Michigan and Florida

I really like all of them, but I think the tiger has the least potential the grab the judges attention.

The butterfly, since I doubt any zoo has a butterfly house & crop left side of tiger for a better portrait shot of the animal. The last 3 pics should be winners & let us
know how you did in the contest.

All are nice. Love the zebras. The ape is the most static, if that means anything in the contest.

Stunning set.

The bottom 4 are keepers for sure. The least interesting to me is the butterfly. IMHO. But I’m not sure that accounts for much yet. Still a beginner.

Your question is real hard to respond to since all your photos are wonderful. If pressed I would eliminate the butterfly.
