Taken through the glass at the San Antonio zoo. This is my favorite macro capture to date. I had the lens hood butted up directly to the glass and used manual focus (many times). Hope you like.

Ron, beautiful, I just about stepped on a prairie rattler last year, once I heard those rattles going off loud, I jumped back, it was scary. We were in the Badlands of Dinasour Park in Alberta #7368012

I know how hard it is to shoot thru the glass. Awesome shot. #7368093
