Groups of animals

Well we asked for groups of animals you dont get much bigger than this, what an experiance and sight it must have been to see this very large school of fish, I think the photo works very well in B&W as it goes bright to dark top to bottom, photography is all about being at the right place at the right time and diving to those artificial reefs certainly paid off, getting the fish and artificial reef domes in the shot must have been no easy task with that amount of fish so hats off to you, the photo documents and highlights the problems within the seas, a very worth winner and very well done

It goes to show photos can be taken with phones or small compact cameras this image shot on a underwater compact camera just proves that, the detail is quite amazing nice and sharp for a photo taken underwater its framed well conveying the movement of the fish a well deserved commended photo keeep up the good work.

One of my favourite flamingo photos in this competition, making the flamingos subtly stand out against the darker surrounding, i like the composition of the two central birds as the lights fades on the others and its nice and sharp in all the right places i could see this haging on my wall with a directional light above, a well deserved commended image

This photo really made me smile how the dogs have been postioned by the frog statue and you were there to capture the moment i think if the photo had been taken from front on it would not have had the same imact with me so well done and keep up the good work

For a none moving subject the composition is perfect leading your eye from the group of mussels close up into the distance, the rule of third box ticked, the photo got me thinking what it would look like at high tide as if i almost wanted to see it and that is what photography is all about creating intrest with a photo, a well deserved commended image.

Capturing the moment is what phgotography is all about you have conveyed that perfectly with the sled dogs in motion, i like how you have framed it with the dogs coming left to right so your postioning was spot on and its nice and sharp in all the right places, keep up the good work

The unusual angle of the photo looking down to the turtles stood out to me, it got me looking at all the picture from the old tree roots across to the turtles in the water, you know a photo is good when you go back and look at it numerous times well done to the photographer

This photo works very well in black and white, its nicely framed with the group of elephants central to the frame in sharp focus with the misty surrounds there is plenty to see when i viewed large i was almost counting the age lines and the old large elephant to the rear left, keep up the good work

what a lovely image the low angle perspective of the photo really works well with the swan and ther cygnets giving plenty of room to view the surroundings, i like how you have framed the image with the adult swan just slightly to the left and its nice and sharp in all the right places well done and keep up the good work

This must have been an incredible sight to witness as the animals cross the river which must be a leap of faith for them knowing what could be lurkimng underwater, i really like the composition from the foreground with the animals enterinmg the river to the animals following in the distance, when viewed large its nice and sharp, a well deserved commended image keep up the good work.

You have captured the scene perfectly i really like the composition and you can almost feel the coldness and harsh conditions as the penguins make their way up the snow ,a well deserved commended image keep up the good work

i like the movement you have conveyed in this photo as the sheep come ambling down the road followed by the farmer and your positioning from the angle you took the photo works well with a nice composition, like you said sheep are easily spooked so a thought for the subject you were photographing gets the thumbs up in my eyes a well deserved commended photograph keep up the good work.

You could just imagine being there a lovely atmospheric early morning landscape scene, i like the framing with the cows in the distance feeding in the field, because this competition was groups of animals you could have easily just zoomed in and got the cows but you thought differently thats what photography is all about well done to the photographer keep up the good work

it goes to show you do not need an expensive camera to get a great photo, at first i thought this was taken underwater and not in a aquarium mobile phones can capture some really nice images this one is nice and sharp and well framed well done to the photographer keep up the good work

Against the tide, You could sit and wait an age to get a photo like this out of all the oyster catchers one going the wrong way that is what they call capturing the moment very well done to the photographer it certainly made me smile a well deserved commended image
