Hey Everyone

I am finally back after moving to the other side of the world, it has been far too long away from this site. Hope you are all well?

My new favourite haunt here in Sydney is Taronga Zoo. It's an awesome zoo and the animals seem really well looked after. So I became a Zoo Friend and can be regularly seen wondering around the zoo camera in hand.

There is a great chimp enclosure and I had spotted the Grandma of the group would sometimes take herself off into a corner and just watch what was going on. It took a fair few visits to get the photo I wanted, hope you like it!

A touch of diffusion?
Just about stonking, I reckon.
Could you furnish a few details if you've a mo please?

This is just fantastic. I'm not a big fan of Zoo Photos, but what you've created is an exceptional portrait that treats her with the dignity she deserves. I love everything about it.
