Re: A few more from Chester zoo.

The cheetah is my fave!

The Vulture is nicely posed, but the sunlight has bleached his white bits a bit too much, and it's a shame he was sitting in front of the wire fence. Unfortunately repositioning vultures isn't generally an option for photographers!

I like the vulture one too - I just wonder if a shallower DOF would have got rid of that wire fence a little better. Nevertheless, a nicely composed.

JR Impossible for DOF due to the distance the photo was taken at, it was right across the other side of the huge bird area, must have been at least 90/100 ft away at the minimum.

Re: A few more from Chester zoo.

The first photo is the best by far - shame about the overexposure on the vulture - and the meerkat just lacks something - not sure what - perhaps if he was looking at you it would have worked better.
