Animals Taking-off & Landing in Colour (no birds)

This is a nice looking natural image. I love how the animal is just too small to reach and has to jump for the hips. The colours are beautifully blended and soft. The hip being dark allows it to stand out. The grass at the front having a section more focused helps the image really well as it is like a base to stop you leaving the image. A lovely image, well done.

Crikey this dog is having fun jumping. The deep rich tones make this image stand out brilliantly as it gives it impact. The angles are great and the image is pin sharp. The dog's fur has extremely sharp well detailed fur. A great image, well done.

What a shot! this is cracking. You have managed to capture not only a very difficult image but it is also very interesting. I love how the bear knows the fish jump out the water and when. An easy meal for them and an opportunity for photographers. Timing the shot is a hard thing, but you have captured this with spot on timing. The image is pin sharp and also superbly captured. I like the fish being head on into the bear's mouth as well as it leads you nicely to the bear. A great shot and very worthy winner, well done.

This is such a great natural image of a wild fox jumping a gap. Being a snowy scene highlights the fox more as it stands out really well with the white snow. The soft trees aid the image to give interest. The degree of softness is spot on. A great well composed, sharp image, well done.
