The baby had the crowd’s attention! These were photographed at the Bronx Zoo in New York City.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

Wow... you did a great job on the portraits for that family! Cute baby too!

How much did you charge them?

Very nice Morris

Not sure why, but I kinda like the second one best. The mother looks tired in the third one, probably wishing it were nap time.

I think u missed the aperature on these, as they all would have benefitted from a greater DOF...and the framing on the first two is too crowded, leaving too little space to the right.

thanks 4 sharing.

Thank you Dan,

She had just chased the little one down in before I took the third photo.

Thank you James,

I agree the first 2 should have been composed with more of the left side cropped. I was after selective focus to place the viewer’s attention as I knew I could not stop down due to the low light. I do see your point regarding DOF, and most so on the dad.

Excellent captures Morris, for ISO 800 they look very clean; are you using a noise removal software?

[taffin]

You have really captured the moment.

I find #4 a little distracting however - perhaps crop the left of the picture.

Thank you Josh,

Sharpen in layers sharpining only the subjects and apply noise reduction to the background. I use PhotoShop CS2 and it has a noise filter.

Thank you taffin,

I don't know about distracting thoug there is noting of use on the left side.

Great subject and great captures.

The DOF is a little shallow as some areas in the subjects seem soft.

 

[morris]

Thank you Z,

I agree, I had to shoot wide open due to the light.

[TheronFamily]

how come your first 2 shots were @ 400mm, and yet so much of the scene was captured morris, or were the last two crops?
another fine series, thanks.

Great job! I especially like the first one.

Are these crops or full frames?
