Animal Wildlife in Black and White

First of all thank you for entering the 'Wildlife in Black and White' competition. Secondly, and most importantly, congratulations for being selected in the judges top 10 - well deserved!

This image is so very delicately beautiful. I love the textures in both the Hare and in the grasses, providing a very pleasing image. The light is fantastic, providing great light and shadow areas, testiment to getting up and shooting in the early morning light. I also like the little details like the water drops on the dew in the grass, a real soft sense of environment. I really like this image, well done!

Thanks again, stay safe, and keep taking amazing images. Martin

This image is simple but brilliant. The textures, details and composition all comes together reall ywell to provide a fantastic image of the frog, which couldn't have been easy at 100mm! I also like that you can just make out the Frog's body just under the water line, so we aren't loosing that detail. Well done!

Thanks again, stay safe, and keep taking amazing images. Martin

This image was one a kept coming back to. I liked it becuase it tells a bit of a story, a story of the wild horses in the mountains that have come down to graze. I like the composition, the towering mountains and pool reflections - all providing context and environment to the story. Well done!

This image really portrays the harsh environments these large animals survive within, a really cold long walk to their next meal. I love the sense of depth and composition here, from foreground to background which is helped further by the blanket of falling snow. A lovely wild image.

This image is all about that eye contact which really delivers the shy nature and vulnerability of this beatiful timid creature. I love the detail in the animal and simplicity of the foreground and background which allows you to focus soley on the animal itself. Fantastic work and well done.

This image is all about that fantastic composition you have delivered. I love the wide crop which I guess is a 16:9? The high key delivery and minimal amount of distractions allow you to focus on the main penguin and follow the line of penguins out, simply brilliant.

This image is all about that chaos, the chaos caught superbly into some kind of order. If there is ever an image that portrays sounds it's this one, you can hear the geese shouting and the water splashing, and it was probably all over in a split second. And to capture this all, maintain detail and keep a composition together is amazing. Well done!

This image is all about the light you have delivered to us, that fantastic low early morning light that casts such beatiful shapes and textures on this magnificient creature. The composition, stance and lack of distractions allows the viewer to focus on the important elements of this image. Well done!

This image is all about the action and drama of a predator doing what predators do well. The action has been captured superbly, with the composition being simple and uncluttered allowing the viewer to really focus on this beatiful Osprey. Beautiful work, well done.
