This is very striking image that portrays Zoo life perfectly. You have used the framing to help draw the viewer into the stark concrete arena that houses this sad but majestic animal.I may have cropped a little tighter but that is just personal taste.

If people are looking for emotion when they voting this should be a clear winner. But this is DPC and probably a happy feel image will win, in my book this is the best and my favorite.

I really like the old world charm of this image it also is composed well with the position of the subject in just the right spot. I would have possibly cropped a little more of the foreground but that is just my taste.

The lion

This is very good image of a lion. It shows that regal and intelligent pose that lions possess although it looks like it was shot through the glass you have still maintained much of the detail and sharpness.
On the downside the bright backlighting has blown out some places but still a very nice image.

I love the clear crisp sharpness of this image catching the surfer at the height of the wave in stop action is fantastic.
You have also managed to catch great detail in the face allowing the viewer to see the concentration in the surfer and with the extended right arm and fingers which really highlights the sense of balance required.
Well done on a great "sports action shot".

Great work but a few little things spoil the image IMHO those are the dark ceiling area this really distracts from the models face and perhaps a little overexposed.

This is fantastic I just wish that little droplet on the beak was in focus as it distracts as it is but that said this should still ribbon.............9 from me.
