Eivor, Another one of your wonderful zoo shots! You've really got the lighting down to a science there. It's a real gift to have a location close by with wonderful subjects that you can get to know intimately as is my case on the beach. For those new to this field, the value of this can not be overstated. Look around BP and you will see some of the best galleries loaded with winning images using the same location (or subject). In this image you have wonderful color tones and nice detail. The composition is excellent as you have utilized the curves in both of the animal's bodies and the shadow of your main subject to great advantage. Then, of course, you have a wonderful subject and "freezing the action" did not seem to be one of your challenges here. #5823414

Thank you all, for your kind comments!
Michael, that's so true, if you get to know your subject and location, that's where you can get really good. I bought a membership to the zoo, so I can swing by there now and then, and check out the different kinds of light, and learn more about the animals' behavior. #5823491
