Just for curiosity, may I ask where you are from ? If it´s not just for the quality of your photos this zoo looks far beyond any standards I know about, and without any offense mate, but this zoo is not even up with an average animal shelter imho.

Also the animals don´t look really "fresh", so I doubt you will get any good photos in there at all even if YOU COULD do it one day.

Use your photos for the better of the animals instead to illustrate their situation and organize something...


Hmmm ... a Bengal tiger, Indian women on a track and the Indian Star Tortoise... I think the pictures might give a clue about location.

However, microstock isn't about campaigning for animal welfare or representing reality, it's about producing images that are useful to designers.

Yep lighting need to be better on the tortoise.

The horizon is leaning in the farmer shot and it would require a model release for everyone in the image.

And the Sparrow is OOF and comp needs to be better.

Also we really like and require you to post the 100% crops please.


Thx. Mike. Will do. Can you guide me on the horizon farmers shot, i mean what would have been a better way.

Nice shots Laurin, but I can't help but wonder whether these would be accepted here today? They should get the "poor lighting" rejection for harsh shadows on all three, walking tiger rejected for "focus" problems and overuse of filters, second one for flash shadow across right side of face.

Not a criticism, more an observation.

I know it's already been mentioned but the FIRST thing that should jump out at you is the crooked horizon.

If the focus and lighting were right I would think that the image would be in demand by those who advocate against the entrapment of wildlife as well as to represent the concept of boredom or even depression.

Your probably right But, The point was Impact and color instead of flat.The one where he was Yawning took 3 hours. That darn thing was dead for hours and in an instant he woke up and yawned. LOL

I think the middle one would still be accepted. It's not like they want you to banish all shadows. That's nice, dramatic lighting.

If that time comes....Im gone , shadows create dimension.They are what make highlights....Highlights. That photo in B&W made the cover of the Los Angeles county Zoo.Microstock doesn't have a clue.
