Week 36. unnatural
I know they are a conservation zoo, but I'm not sure
this is something you would naturally find in a zoo park

Hey Chris,
Bit of a catch up there !

Hands - Fun shot :) (Assuming it's a long lens - I wouldn't want to be close).
Fur - A bit of aa shame he's not looking at you, but bang on theme.
Clean - Another one I'd not want to be too close to, though this bear does appear to be enjoying laying around in the water.
Glass - Works for me. Horned shoes FTW :)
Snappers - I love that, it does work well as a hide and seek shot. Nicely focused on the subject too, which can be an issue.
Unnatural - Such a shame that Dinos are not found in zoos. I like the way you've framed the head against teh sky, rather than losing it in the trees.

Some great catch up images there. I particularly love your snappers choice.. such a cute capture!
 
Glass
I suppose it counts. It's a nice portrait.

Snappers choice
It works well with the title. It's good that the eyes aren't hidden by the bamboo.

Unnatural
I think it's best they only have dinosaur sculptures, we've all seen Jurassic park :eek:
 
Glass - I couldn't have guessed, but I suppose it fits.

Amazing how you have managed to fit almost every theme into the zoo. Was the dinosaur there too?

The bear's fingernails could do with a trim..

Well I certainly wasn't that close to a "wild" lion :D

Well of course ZSL prides itself on being a conservation zoo :D

its an animatronics display of about 15 dinosaurs, there till the end of Oct.

Its a sloth bear, ( aka dancing bear) allegedly the bear that Disney based Baloo on.
And it needs those claws to pick a Paw Paw, :D

Thanks for dropping by Bee :)
 
Week 37 Natural
Doing what come natural for the good of the colony.

Week 38 Autumn
Ripening / ripened fruit always make me think of Autumn
Chinese Cherry apple fruit approx 10 mm in size

CCA2.jpg

Full tree, approx 20 ins ( around 50 cm) tall.

Wow those are tiny apples. Can you actually eat them? I have a banana plant that produces bananas each year and they are tiny. They didn't taste good!

Lovely sharp shot of a bee doing what comes naturally.
 
Week 39 Door
I'm stuck for a shoe horn this week so its
just a Hobbit (?) Door

Or perhaps something a tad more elaborate?

A hobbits door, but not like in the films. Nice details in the stonework.

Nice Hobbit door there ;)
 
Week 40 Architecture
There's nothing interesting around here,
so I went for a re-edit, on the city of Arts and sciences Valencia. ( night shoot)

Two nice shots - No2 is a nice take on the theme :)
 
Nice shots. Not sure if the building reminds me of Daft Punk or Hermes (the winged messenger, not the parcel delivery company :LOL:)
 
Bebop said:
Yep two good shots for the theme. The building reminds me of a crash helmet with a visor.

Thanks Bee, :)

and :LOL: at the helmet

Thanks Simon :)
Yes I see what you mean about Hermes, I always imaged it was an old left turn signal :D
 
Door - no door mouse in the zoo? An old castle perhaps... Which one?
I do like things like that, they are photogenic.

I disagree, you have canals.
I do like the Valencia re-edit. It is an excellent clean shot and I like the range of tones.
