Description

Hello To all of my friends.. Sorry for being so fast this time.. I am really busy and packed these days.. The title = You.See.I.See.You.To This shot was taken in Detroit Zoo-Park Today.. Shot taken with: Canon EOS 30D - EF 28-135MM USM-II IS W/4+ Filter - ISO 400 - 1/400 Hope it came out as a nice animal portrait.. So please ENJOY NATTARIOUS[C] COLOURS and as always.. Comments/Reviews are most welcome.. LOVE YOU ALL - JOE btw: I found the giraffe captures terrifying. It seemed such a brutal way of doing things-they use darts with a syringe as thick as five matches. It takes 10 minutes for the drug to take effect.

Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous!!! Do you know that these guys are considered the most patient of animals in Africa? I really really love this compo Yaguar! Your shot is amazing! I used a 300mm and couldn't get even close! They just wouldn't listen to me whistle!

One time one of those creatures licked my cheek. That was at (IN?) a ZOO before they build high fences.. it felt like sandpaper but i guess it have to be that way or they couldnt eat leaves. Great shot! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day :) x

Our South African friend who commented calls it a "Bull" so that tells me male..if I read it correctly. Very well done. Excellent detail and compo of this beast. Thanks.

Wonderful capture Joe - the detail and presentation are always strong in your images so no need to mention (however, I just did...) The facial expression is great - kind of looks drugged which is a horrible thing to say I suppose. I wish the light had been a little better here for you though, but sometimes you take what you get... well done +++

Really cool shot Joe. Awsome POV. Great DOF. It is amazing how you captured his face this close with a EF 28-135MM. Did you use a latter? :)

When I want to 'capture' a giraffe,I just use my camera,lol...But seriously,I can imagine that would be a disturbing sight.Sorry you had to witness it.I went to a bullfight many years ago,and left in tears.I simply couldn't bear to watch it.At least your giraffe was only being tranquilised,and most likely for his own good.Anyway,fabulous shot,Joe.Absolutely beautiful,and wonderful quality,as well.Mucho congrats.-M :^)

Thank you to all of you my friends for the comments and reviews/votes.. That made my day tho.. It really means a lot to me to read your opinion so it is really appreciated.. And answering Hadi's (FOTOGEN) Question about the EF-28-135MM USMII IS.. I mentioned above that i used a +4 Filter.. Sorry i didn't make it clear.. The +4 Filter is a magnifyer of 4X times the real size.. And i took a permission to get into the main spot where that beauty was for some commercial NGC europe posts.. But in fact.. I was about 10 feet away from her/him :)) So i won't get licked like Slawa and feel that needley feeling:)) Thank you again and i will post another shot now JOE
