Great capture. You caught the action of the fastest land animal. The expressions on both predator and prey add to the emotion created by this excellent image. Your use of selective focus, blurring the background, is one of the best techniques to use in wildlife photography.

Great action shot. The drama between the two cheetahs sharing the Thompson gazelle gives added impact to your image. Your audience is drawn into the action. The expression on the face of the gazelle is hypnotic. This is a fantastic wildlife photo.

You can feel the pain. While the image is a little noisy, it shows emotion. You have placed the subject well, using Rule of Thirds and leading lines. This was appears to be a scene captured from the street. Try to avoid over cropping editing.

Well done, this is a great action shot. It's rare to see a photo of a hyena hunting, and they are one of the most successful predators. This wildlife photo captures both emotion and action. Placing the subjects in the center was a good choice.

An image that combines sadness with joy. She is overcoming challenges and moving forward in life. It's an emotional task to photograph someone with disabilities and do it thoughtfully. You have created a great image. The smiles on the ladies is heartwarming.

A beautiful image. Your use of depth of field and Rule of Thirds makes this image one that would sell in a gallery. The demonstration of love between the lioness and her cub, tugs at the viewers' heart. Very well done. This is a wildlife image worthy of being on a wall.

Babies will always evoke an emotion. Your use of selective focus makes this image dynamic. The tiny hand reaching up is something everyone relates to. Hands are often difficult to photograph. You have created a beautiful image. This brings a smile to my face. Good job.

An excellent capture. The motion and strength of the battling leopards captivates your audience. This is one time the Rule of Thirds should be ignored. The centering of the subjects adds to the impact, highlighting the drama of the moment. Dueling leopards is rare to see. You have done a great job in capturing this action image.

Predator and prey, to some a hard image to view, but part of the circle of life. This appears to be a young leopard. The baby baboon may be one of its first kills. Your image is well composed, sharp and the technicals are spot on. I could see this image displayed in a gallery. Excellent job.

It's clear that love is being demonstrated. The viewer is drawn into the image and shares in the feeling. Good job. The young man pushing the wheelchair of what appears to be his older brother is focused on what he is doing. You did a great job in capturing both boys expressions.

Breathtaking. Great composition and use of technicals. Well done. Night photography has its challenges, and you have overcome those creating a fabulous image. The stones lead you to the tents, and they lead you to the sky. This photo creates a sense of awe and inspiration.

Beautiful photo. Excellent job of capturing the monkey in mid-jump in low light. The trees frame our subject very well and the colors of the sky are beautiful. This is one of the best silhouettes I have seen. Your skill as a photographer is demonstrated in this photo.

Beautiful photo, great colors. This feeding leopard pops out of the blue background light of the sky. An emotion scene showing both predator and prey. The intense gaze of the leopard warns anything from coming closer. This is a wonderful wildlife photograph.

A beautiful image showing strength overcoming adversity. You can clearly see the strain and determination on this young subject's face. It is difficult to photograph someone with disabilities and do it tactfully. You have done that. Well done. Your technicals are all good.

An image dear to the hearts of all veterans. This memorial is a tribute to the fallen and deserves respect. You have captured the image in a way that makes the viewer think about the scene. Placing the subject in the center of the image was a good decision.
