Wow. Almost a painting. Pretty!

Wow, lots of great pics! That pic of the Croc is amazing seeing the size of that thing and knowing your sis is the one feeding it. The only thing I'd do different is to crop off the handto the right for better composition of just the two of them (... or you couldjust let the croc do it


Here's the only other whale pic worth postingas its a little sharper than the one above. It was quite dark and getting high enough shutter speeds toreduce the blur of jumping whales was near impossible. fwiw, the white whale was taken with a 70-200 f2.8 L and the Orca's were taken with the 17-55 f2.8 IS EF-S both on a 30D.





Here's a link to a larger pic... posting it here as a URL crops too much off of the right side.

This was taken at the Wild Spirit wolf sanctuary in western New Mexico. They actually let serious photographers in the habitats (for a small fee--of course)

That wolf is pretty cool. Since I don't get out much to shoot actual wildlife in the wild, I am stuck with zoo pictures. Here are a couple more of mine.

Jason, Excellent job on the fish pic![]

[Jayson]

I had another trip to the zoo this weekend and the kids gave me a couple of seconds to snapshots of jellyfish. These were taken with 85mm @ 2.2, iso 800, 1/30 sec. PP noise and contrast with a little saturation adjustment. They are in a tank with the only lightsource in the room being a blacklight.
