Posted by Mandy Provan (Johannesburg, South Africa) on 8 May 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
The next few days pics are from a trip I took to the zoo with my boys 2 weeks ago. As you all know people are my speciality, so I was really trying to think outside the box and get some cool animal shots. Let me know if you think I was successful.
I hope you enjoy them.
Another shot of an owl. Same species as the first one in my little zoo series, but not the same owl. Taken at a high ISO to maximise the light, their cages are quite dark and I didn't want to use a flash.
Thanks so much for all your comments - they are greatly appreciated!!

Excellent picture. He is such a little cutie and the details of his feathers are really beautifully captured.

Great composition and light... you captured this little guy beautifully!

At first I thought this guy was mounted or something, an owl on a stick... after reading your explanation, I was relieved to discern it was a perch (not the fish) - I'm getting in trouble here aren't I? Suffice it to say that it's a very good shot.

I love owls! Good feathers detail :)

Very nice image! I love the detail you've captured here! It's hard to believe that this is a wild animal...it looks so tame.

Aww.. This is so adorable. It almost appears like he is worried and looking out or waiting for something. I love it! Very impressive.
Nice shot and focus on this one!

I could have sworn I'd commented on this one before my computer went crazy and slowed down to a snails pace! A fantastic shot Mandy, he's one cute little owl.

Sweet shot Mandy, I like how its little head is turned.

This is a really cute little guy; I love owls. We have some small screech owls that nest in our bamboo stand in the back yard. I love watching them start to come out after dark as they dart around among the lower tree branches.
