New Joiners - Animals #506

I really love the catchlight in the Elephants eye here, with really aesthetically pleasing colour and tones in the skin. The composition works really well and draws your eye in. Be cautious when processing your images if applying a vignette or selectively adjusting your exposure around the edges of the subject.

This is a gorgeous image, with fantastic depth, a really aesthetically pleasing colour palette and a great composition. You've utilised the low angle really well here, capturing a quirky bit of behaviour and the warm evening light balances the colours and contrast.

This image is incredibly moody and I love that you've taken a subject that's often overlooked and shown that you can capture awesome images of them! The focus and depth of field is spot on and you really captured a great moment with the wings spread and the Raven calling. I'd consider increasing the exposure slightly to bring out more detail.

What an incredibly vibrant bird! The composition is good with the subject looking into the frame and the lower branch acting like a partial frame. The focus and depth is good and the fill flash isn't harsh, avoiding any highlights or blown contrast.

I love how the light is peeping through the legs of this Deer, with a subtle, almost pastel like colour palette which works really well. The exposure is spot on with no detail lost despite the slight backlighting and the low perspective is great.

I really like how the foreground frames this goat, with a good composition as he looks into the frame. I'd consider increasing the contrast on this image, along with reducing the highlights a touch to bring out more detail and make the image pop even more.

I love the moody, early morning atmosphere in this image, which is greater complemented with the rustic colour palette. The foreground and background lines work really well to frame the subject and the depth of field and composition is spot on.

I really love the crisp focus on the eye and feathers here, with the catchlight adding an additional element along with the dew droplets. The depth of field is good and the exposure is spot on, avoiding any blown highlights or harsh contrast.

It's often a running joke that wildlife photographers spend the majority of their time seeing the backside of wildlife, but you've shown here that if done well, a backside image can be a great one! The road works well as a leading line to draw peoples eyes in and the exposure and depth is well achieved.

I love how the spotlight focuses near the eye, drawing your attention in and in some way acting like a frame. The exposure and colour balance are spot on and the focus couldn't be better, with every minute detail showing on the sharks skin.

I love how the backlight brings out every detail of the birds flight feathers, with an iridescent sheen. The square crop works well with a great, clean background. I'd consider a slightly wider depth of field to get more of the bird in focus on future attempts whilst trying not to sacrifice the background bokeh.

I love the low perspective here, paired with great colour and light despite it being a bright, sunny day. The depth of field is spot on with both cows perfectly in focus and great detail in the background too which shows their environment and habitat.

Whilst this may be seen as an unusual image, it really works! I love the asymmetry and I think it works really well in black and white. The shadow in the background really helps to isolate the dog and makes the main subjects really pop.
