Great light here, but the photo is boring.

I'd steer away from fish and birds in zoos, it's hard to get anything worthwhile from them in zoos. You tend to get the same boring crap as other people get when shooting them there. Mammals you can do better with.

Most people want to see animals without the enclosure, so use that telephoto you have and blur it out. Do not worry about through fences, you can blur it by being close the fence and having the animal further back, same with windows. If strong light is on it though, it's harder to blur out. Though you can use the enclosure to make an emotional appeal, most such shots are kinda eh and are over done.

so like this was shot through 3" glass

ahhh, yeah that makes sense. this was my first time shooting animals with my camera. fish are fast as fuck; so it's hard to take pictures of them.

This is my only suggestion. You have some neat pictures of animals, but they don't look thought out at all. They just look like you centered the animal and pressed the button on a point and shoot.

LMAO, it's true! i went photocrazy, and i just took a bunch of pictures with my k10d. buuuuuuuut, that's a secret.

anyways, yeah, i should focus on lighting and composition a bit more. thanks for the advice, i'll read the wiki right now.
>> okto !.ZlrOYZhsk
>>210251
Good start, but keep going. Think about the composition as a final image, not as a three-dimensional scene. Forget there's anything outside the viewfinder, and pretend you're looking at a finalized print through it. Is this interesting as a photograph, or is it just a record that a flamingo was here?

>>210290
Beautiful image. The way yo captured the fox's (is it a fox?) emotion is really effective.
But that noise (on the log in front) is awful. It's srsly distracting.
