  • Ciao magico Roberto, che spettacolo ... Una esplosione di colori con le splendide farfalle ed una infinita varietà di stati d'animo colti sui visi dei grandi animali ... L'intensa vitalità e la carica emotiva delle tue immagini, ancor più della incredibile bontà della tecnica e della perfezione delle composizioni, è quella che ogni volta mi cattura quando guardo un tuo album ... E' la tua personale magia nel cogliere l'essenza di ciò che fotografi! Splendido! Un grande abbraccio. Simonetta

  • Caro Roberto, anche questa volta sei riuscito a confezionare uno dei tuoi ottimi reportages. La cosa che più mi ha colpito è che sei riuscito quasi sempre a cogliere l'attimo e l'espressione migliore di questi animali che vivono purtroppo in cattività. Gli scatti che preferisco sono quelli nei quali gli animali non sembrano chiusi in una cella, ma sembrano liberi come nel loro ambiente naturale. Le macro delle farfalle con i loro splendidi colori e le rane che posano immobili nello stagno sono il valore plus di questo tuo ottimo lavoro che mi piace tantissimo. Un abbraccio Franco

  • Hi Roberto! Gorgeous album you have here... as usual :). I didn't comment on your butterflies because they were all so stunning i would end up repeating myself. I wish our zoo also had a place for those lovely creatures... not that it would do me any good because i'm positive i would not be able to photograph them the way you do :). Anyway, loved your album! Thank you for sharing. Marina

  • Hi Roberto, I have enjoyed the slideshow of this album thoroughly. As always the composition and colours were outstanding. I'll certainly come back to view each photo more leisurely. Have a great day. Regards from Paul in Canada.

  • Roberto, I enjoyed watching all these beautiful pictures again. The titles and captions make the album much more interesting to visit, just like visiting a real zoo... I hope to see this album featured soon, or at last one of these pictures... at least it deserves it. Wishing you a wonderful day, Yair.

  • You have great shots here Roberto. I love the butterflies. Thanks for going to all the trouble that we might see what took place on this trip of yours.

  • WOW Roberto! Simply a fantastic album! Your photos are becoming better and better and your culling more and more gruelling ... :o) The result is an album where every photo is a masterpiece. I had a wonderful time viewing the slideshow... Take care, and BTW you have another Ciao from Roza. We have met again on Monday, but yesterday they returned to the US. Hugs & Ciao! Orly

  • Masterful craftsmanship again, Roberto! Makes for relaxing viewing. I enjoyed your cropping- a small change makes for an interesting composition! The colors are so intense, too. You do good work! As Always, Susan R

  • Ciao Roberto! We are back in the US. Thank you for looking at my album at Fotki. I created more, if you are interested, but I'm far from being done. This album of your visit to the zoo is wonderful. You are so good with your new camera. I'm still learning mine. The lens you suggested was drawing a lot of attention in Israel, especially from men of all ages. They were very impressed. :-))) A question: is it normal that this lens, has two diagonal dots on the upper left and the lower right side? None on the opposite side. They look different than focus points, and I did not see anything in the lens's manual about it. :-(( Roza

  • Davvero un album con molte foto splendide Roberto; in particolare quando lavori sulle macro e sui dettagli ottieni risultati da vero maestro. Applaudo come sempre e mi sbalordisco per la bellezza delle tue farfalle (ma le sinuose curve del serpente sono le mie preferite) Un GRANDE CIAO Ruggero

  • Hi Roberto! Thanks for your nice entry. Celle lies in Niedersachsen. Lower Saxony (I white not whether it is correctly translated). In the north of Germany. Would you like to drive there? Greetings from Christine.

  • Beautiful album, Roberto! I hope married life is treating you well. We've been VERY busy of late here, but hanging in there just the same. I noticed you had the first photo in the "London" album. Congratulations!! Quite honestly, I was surprised not to see more of your work in that album. Oh well. Who are we to ask, right? Anyway, have a great weekend and best wishes, Kris :)
