This one is of my sister playing with one of her mates at the zoo she works at as a zoologist. His name is Snappy Tom and he's a 4.5m Australian Saltwater Crocodile.

I love the croc! That is an awesome shot.


I need to keep this one going. My 3 year oldis loving the pictures.


While not technically sound or perfectly in focus, I really like this picture. Water is a natural barrier for the monkey and this guy was hanging about 50 feet from the nearest tree trying to fish.


Taken with XSi, f7.1, 1/400 sec, iso 320, 70-300mmISat 300mm.

Taken with the Canon Xsi and the 'nifty 50' (Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens). I was amazed that I was able to capture this shot in the ominous blue light (taken with natural light):
