New Joiners - Animals #508

The crisp detail on this image is divine, with great focus and depth. Despite looking like a bright day, this hasn't impacted the contrast or colour on the image and the bokeh background really helps for the heron to pop from his surroundings.

It can often be easy to miss the focus when photographing animals, hitting either the nose or back of the head, but you've really nailed it here with crisp focus on the eyes. The depth works well, but could be even better if you increased it slightly to also include the nose in focus.

You captured a great action moment here, avoiding clipping the wing tips off and no perceivable blown highlights. It can be hard to predict the direction a bird may fly into so whilst this eagle may not fly into the frame, it's still a great image!

I love the simplicity of this image, with a shallow depth of field really helping to isolate and draw your attention to the face and eyes. I'd consider decreasing the exposure slightly on the surroundings if you haven't already but can fully appreciate that a higher exposure would likely be needed to bring the detail out on him.

I really love the expression on this koala and the framing from the logs either side works really well. The focus and depth of field are spot on! I'd consider increasing the exposure and contrast slightly to make the image pop even more.

Jackdaws and corvids are often heavily overlooked subjects for budding wildlife photographers but they don't deserve this oversight as you've expertly demonstrated here. The colour palette is divine with the shallow depth of field really helping to isolate him against his backdrop.

I really love the backlighting on this image, bringing out the speckles of dust that add an extra element to the image. The colour palette is gorgeous and the composition works really well. A couple of dust spots seem to have snuck onto your sensor however, so I'd get this professionally cleaned at some point to keep your images pristine!

I love how this peacock pops so dramatically from his surroundings as you've captured his vibrant colours fantastically. I'd consider cropping in slightly from the left to make him look into the frame slightly more or alter the crop if this has already been applied.

I love how the building acts as a partial natural frame for this goat and the image works really well in black and white. The composition and focus is spot on, using the rule of thirds to add to the aesthetics of the image.

I love the colour in this image, with the pinks really popping and drawing your attention in. With the focus spot on the eye, paired with the great foreground and background bokeh, it helps to isolate the Deer despite the 'messy' foreground.

The colour on this bird is truly stunning, with no distracting elements in the foreground or background. I would consider cropping in slightly from the top right to help the bird look into the frame more which will draw peoples eyes in too.

You've shown here that a common, overlooked or even partially hated species still has fantastic potential when it comes to wildlife photography. The colour on the plumage really pops and you've really nailed the composition, exposure and focus. A great image!

I love everything about this image, from the perspective, comical expression, depth and colour. If you're out trying to recreate this image in the future I'd strongly recommend a faster shutter speed to try and ensure you freeze the moment!

The branches and leaves on this tree have framed this blue tit really well, helping to isolate him whilst adding extra elements to the image which would feel empty without them. I'd consider increasing the exposure on the bird ever so slightly to make it pop more.

You captured a fantastic action moment here, with the eagle perfectly in focus despite flying straight towards you. This is in part due to you selecting a good aperture! I'd consider using noise reduction software such as Topaz if you plan on reproducing this image on a larger scale.
