Photo taken with A700 and Minolta APO 80-200 F2.8 lens.

i really like this shot!! so powerful!

one critique, he needs hair conditional :lol:
(ops... bad joke!) :blink:

Haha, you shampoo for him lor ....

Whoa... Nice pose... ;)

You told him to smile, didn't you? :lol:

He was probably thinking "Finally ... a handsome looking chap at the zoo ..." :lol:

Bro Peter,
This time is my turn to critique you he..he. That's how we learn n share right ?

I think it will look better with a good bokeh, I still can see the fungus wall ;)
And why you cut the bottow part of his beard a bit ?

Pls note that it is unbiased and purely my personal perception :)

Haha no problem. I welcome critiques anytime ;)

Ok for this one - since it was taken in the zoo, it would be nice to include a little of its natural environment in rather than to take it out totally.

And being taken from its enclosure, cropping off the bottom was inevitable due to the vegetation that lingers beneath. It was a decision of either to include some green or to totally keep it out.

Last but not least, this is the best possible given the lens I had on hand :)

So ... that's my part of the story for you hee.

No laa
Watch his expression, looks like someone tickled his belly while Bro Peter took the photo :lol:
