C&C : Fota at weekend

horgan_p

went down to fota at the weekend and took a few shots:


one or 2 notes :
1) no photoshopping done
2) shots of cheetahs were taken through double chicken wire type fencing (any tips on focusing ?)
3) all shots taken on a 350d with a 28-135 IS lens.

what i'd like to get lens wise next :

1 - 17-85 IS ( i get bad shakes )
2 - 50 mm prime lens
3 - 100-400 IS

anyway without further ado :







i am open to all criticism ( please try to keep it constructive :rolleyes: )


Thanks


P.S. my flickr page for bigger images and other shots.

Thanks again.

places like fota are always hard to photograph, cos it's hard to get close enough to the animals; example being the shot of the peacock being the best, it was the one you could get closest to.

I think the framing is fine, for all three, but I'd have got down lower for the first one. It would have given a nicer angle.

For the second one, I know it's very difficult, but it's ideal if you can get a shot that doesn't have fences, in the background.
With regard to all three, I'd have bumped up the saturation a bit.

i like the peacock - nice colours
the other two seem a little washed out maybe a bit of contrast and increase the saturation as CE mentioned.
