THAT is goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood! Look at the detail on old spike. I read an article on shooting thru glass. It said, never use flash; place your lens right up to the glass; keep the lens at a 45 degree angle to the glass. This is well done as in "first class".

Fantastic capture. It's interesting to hear how you took the shot. That was the same technique I used on Big Boss Man. What setting did you use? My course instructor said to use the outside or panoramic setting as it forces the focal point beyond the glass and removes the glass, scratches and imperfections and all, from the image. Works really well if the glass is not dirty beyond reason.. Perfect image of great quality and amazing detail. Well done. It has been a great week for zoo captures:)

Stunning closeup with exceptional clarity and great composition. Def a keeper and a 12/10. So glad you shared this one.

He looks like a proud little guy and why shouldn't he, he'd just had a great potrait taken. Well done.

Had this in the VB. Can't ask for a more clear shot Charlie. Beautiful detail shown here. Great image deserving of a high score ... at least that was opinion.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

Outstanding image full of crisp clear details and a variety of textures to capture the eye. The dark background really makes the lizard pop out. Very well done Charlie!

All I can say Charlie is you had much better luck shooting through the glass than I did on my visit to the aquarium last week. Super shot. Jas
