Trip to Cleveland Zoo

[robow]

This weekend northeast Ohio got a surprise nice day, so my wife and I took a trip to the Cleveland zoo. I have always been impressed by the Cleveland zoo, compared to the other zoos I have been to it is near the top of my list of best zoos(San Diego zoo was a huge let down). Anyway here are a couple pictures I took feel free to tell me what I did wrong or could have done better.

Thank you for the compliments, the pictures were taken with my d5000 and the Nikon 55-200 mm lens. Recty I don't know why my avatar looks like it does the original doesn't. I will put up a couple more pictures later.

You could use that if you want
