You take great shots Matt!

IMO, nothing beats a great shot. Most photoshop 'effects' look a little tacky.

Good work tang!
Caged animals can be hard sometimes, and unfortunately need a little P.S. well for me they do!!
youve done well, AGAIN!!!
I will be goin to the melbourne zoo in a couple of weeks, been hangin out to get the camera out!!
I just hope the weather holds up!!

Cheers Matt. I want to go to the Werribee Open Range zoo ...

I imagine that would be awesome photo territory!! Unfortunately a place like that would be a bit hit and miss for me, as my 200mm lens is my biggest and i have to be surprisingly close to some objects to get a quality shot, even some birds in the zoo's are too far away!! Being open range they could be right in your face, or 100m away, which would just suck for me!!!

I'd have the same problem too. Longest I got is my 70-200.
(all photos in that gallery were either 5D Mark II + 24-70, or 1D Mark III + 70-200)
But I could borrow a 1.4x teleconverter if needed
