This is self explatory. But, a bit of explanation. This was "Zoo Photo Day" at the L.A. Zoo. Getting any view of the birds with the other 50 or more photogs pushing and crowding around was difficult. There were special exhibits and bahavior enhancements for the day and early for us before the rest of the zoo was opened. Most rushed all over and it was crowded. I gave up on the Tiger since I could not get inside the second row with my 500 and tripod.
'I was glad to have any view. Getting back was not possible and closer, well, just guess.

Looks like he' ready to get to work. Maybe a little more DOF but not bad as is.

Very nice.

self explatory? ;) Nice one Steve. If I was shooting this and trying to include the hand I might have shot it a bit wider.

Magnificent creature! Good color choices (I like the warmth the shade setting gives, looks just right.) Would only consider more DOF since the far wing is so prominently positioned.
