Love the stab at humor, even though many Nikon photographers give me gas... I like the way you've filled the frame, though closeups like this seem to require that n'th bit of sharpness which yours lacks. You're probably getting tons of comments about that, right? Nice job at the zoo, good luck!

Nice work on this photo. Even on a bright, sunny day, there are only a few small areas that are completely blown out, and a few shadows that lose all detail. My compliments to you.
I'm glad I am not a Nikon user.;o) I think the focus on the teeth is good since that is what you are trying to portray but I think I would have liked to see more focus on the eye. Good luck.
Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice
