July 16

Vulture
This exhibit is in the new "Elephant Odyssey" section of the San Diego Zoo.
The mesh in the cages is so dense it is very difficult to get a good shot. The backgrounds are also very photographer unfriendly.
I think the new exhibit for which we waited over two years is a big disappointment.


other sizes: small medium original auto

You got a super sharp result despite the cage mesh issues. V

In spite of the background not being great, it's a very nice image. I love the "eyelashes" on this bird and how they shadow across the eye :-)

I hate it when they have all that mesh...thank goodness our's here in Fort Worth doesn't have any barriers. Beautiful shot!

You still make a spectacular shot...

You would think that they would put portholes in the mesh for the photogs. Not necessarily the best solution, but better than a solid barrier.
