[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The next series photos will take you through the African Lion Safari park in southern Ontario.
This parc is a Canadian owned family business created in the name of conservation. The manner of exhibiting animals is completely different from the traditional Zoo approach; that is, the visitor is caged in the car, and the animals roam in 2 to 20 hectare (5 to 50 acre) reserves.

The first stop on the 9 km drive trough are a exibit of birds.

Picture taken through the car window.

What a beautiful pair of Crowned Cranes in a very nice composition. It would be fantastic to see them in the wild but not many of us have that opportunity. Excellent detail of their plumage and nice colours.
TFS, Ulla

WOW! This truely must be a spectcular place! What a brilliant idea to create such a place for nature...my hat's of to the people who did this!
About the sht, it's very beautiful, and so are the birds from it :) I'm really curious of this entire set of photos, Sky :)
The POV is great and the 3D simetry here is outstanding! The DOF is excellent, the colors lovely and the details very nice and sharp.
Very well framed and composed, too.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Sky.

Excellent picture, great composition.

Hi Sky,
This is a very good capture of those birds... This is a very good composition with excellent details. Both birds are very well focused with nice exposure. This place seems to be very interesting. It reminds me a bit of "Le zoo sauvage de St-Félicien" in Saguenay, Quebec. I just wonder what kind of bird they are? Thanks,
Claudine

I was about to ask what these birds are, but then Ulla has already named them as Crowned Cranes.
Very fine picture of these lovely birds. Good to know it is the humans who are "caged" while visiting this Park. Great idea!
Well done and TFS.

Perfecta composición y encuadre. Buenas nitidez y luces. Agradables colores.

Hi Sky,

Hallo Sky,
da bin jetzt schon gespannt was Du alles auf Deiner "Safari" geschossen hast. Ich war hier vor 4 Wochen in Gelsenkirchen in einen sogenannten Erlebnis-Zoo. Das ein ganz anderes Konzept wie man Zoos gestaltet. Bis dato gibt es eine Alaska und Afrika-Welt. Die Asien-Welt soll bis zum Jahr 2008 fertig sein. Durch die Afrika-Welt kannst Du Dich mit einem Boot bewegen, d.h. links uns rechts von Dir am Ufer sind die verschiedensten Tiere Afrikas. Nur das Wasseer ist zwischen Zoobesucher und Tieren. In der Alaska-Welt bewegt man sich auf einen vorgegebenen Pfad. Auch hier kommt man sehr nah an die Tiere heran. Attraktion sind hier die Grizzlys. Einziger Nachteil momentan: das Besucheraufkommen ist gigantisch, es wälzt sich ein Lindwurm von Menschen an den Tieren vorbei. Ich werde dennoch einen Wochentag den Zoo aufsuchen. -
Deine Kronenkraniche sind perfekt fotografiert. Sehr schön ins Bild gesetzt, superb Schärfe und natürliche Farben. Danke Dir für dieses sehr schöne Foto.
Gruß
Heinz

Hi Sky,

Nice image Sky of showy birds.

I like it a lot: composition, DOF, POV, sharpness, focus, lighting, color, framing, background.

I like it: frame (a little heavy), notes.

I don't like it: nothing.

I like the very good details on the plumage.
TFS and regard... Ricardo
