Ahh, well I guess you've just got to hope that it's better off in there than out in the wild. Otherwise it is pretty crappy!

Thank you for the fave.

Yeah, I think it tends to be that way with a lot of zoo photos. Especially if they're really obviously in a zoo.

It seems you've ignored the rule of thirds... I know this because the wire forms a handy template. Ah well, rules are ment to be broken, and you've broken this one extremely nicely.

wolfskin In reply to Argent47 [2006-08-29 11:47:50 +0000 UTC]

Yup, this is possibly the first time I've ever intentionally done that. I did initially try sticking with the rule of thirds, but it just didn't have the same oomph.

Absolutely amazing capture, brilliant. Great B&W, but it makes me feel very sad.... I hate birds to be caged, unless it was there to recuperate from something. Great capture nonetheless....

wolfskin In reply to Zarafa [2006-08-29 04:17:09 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure why this one in particular was caged, really. There were actually quite a few kookaburras and tawny frogmouths just sitting around in trees and on logs out in the open air (not that I realised this until it was getting too dark for any of my photos to come out well ), so it was a bit odd that this and a few others weren't.

Zarafa In reply to wolfskin [2006-08-29 04:19:31 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, maybe some recuperation....it's an awesome photo anyway

I think zoos, etc., are awesome for what they do (assuming they're not the shithole kind, anyway), but yeah, I can't help but think of them that way. Especially after seeing the way that some people acted around the animals at Featherdale - trying to force a kangaroo to eat bark, etc. Seriously, what the fuck gets into people's heads?!

i can assure you 100% we dont feed out kangaroos bark

we save that for our endangered species .. haha kidding..

It was a surprisingly accomodating bird! Just sat there staring at the camera, even though I was pretty darn close to it.
