The problem with animal shots is that animals move and don't like you getting close to them with cameras. :( I have some good zoo shots, but so far none of these zoos will allow me to print the images as cards (though if this takes off at all, I was thinking I could talk to some of these organizations about what would be involved in getting permission to use the images commercially - for example, the Chicago Botanical Garden talks about it on their webpage, it'd cost me like $50 but I could then use them however I want, if I read it right). The reason 55 is so washed out is that I took it with digital zoom; I had a neat picture of a hawk in the first run which had exactly the same problem, and I decided to remove it. 71 has exactly the same issue, but there was so much sunlight that it didn't wash out as bad, and the Canadian geeselings end up looking like they've got haloes in a way that I think might work (but I'll admit that it's a borderline shot for me, too)...
I took 45 at a street fair. :) I like food photography, too.
I think it'd be worth trying to darken up 64 - but now I know it's worth doing. :)
