New Joiners - Animals #530

I love the low perspective you've used here to really isolate the subject from his surroundings and draw the viewers eye in. I would consider increasing the exposure slightly and also cropping in a touch from the left to get the subject to look into the frame more rather than being centralised.

I really love the grungy feel to this image, but contrasted against the vibrant colours and textures it works incredibly well with a gorgeous subject! The chair almost frames the subject and draws your eyes in and the lower angle works really well.

What a character! I love the goofy expression on his face and the exposure is spot on despite him having a dark coat. Whilst it can be awkward on a phone, a slightly wider depth of field (higher f/ number) would have ensured his entire face was in focus.

I love the soft bokeh foreground in this image as it really helps to make the subject pop and ensures you don't have too much detail in the foreground. The composition, focus and exposure are good and the colour palette is aesthetically pleasing.

I love the asymmetry in this image with the two subjects, both looking equally surprised to see you! The low angle works really well and the focus looks good. I'd consider using some de-noise software such as Topaz to clean up some of the grainy parts of the image.

What a cracking capture! You really nailed the focus here and I love the lighting as it really worked in your favour to highlight the water and slobber! Personally I think the image would be better off without the green frame but this is a personal preference.

I love how well that piercing red eye stands out in the image and really draws your attention in. The composition is good with the subject looking into the frame and the branches drawing you to the subject. I'd consider decreasing the highlights slightly on the image so they don't distract people away from the bird!

I love how the personality of this subject is just oozing out and so apparent! The exposure and focus is good and this image goes to show that phone cameras can create awesome images! Whenever possible, try not to clip out parts of the subject (the ear tips here) for a more effective image.

Gulls are so heavily overlooked as a photographic subject, and they really shouldn't be! I love how charismatic these three look and the asymmetry works really well: it's almost as if this is a boy band cover! The exposure and focus is good and the low angle works well.

I love that you've gone for an up close, detail image here as it works incredibly well, even more so arguably with the square crop. The focus is spot on and the depth of field works well to ensure the claws are the primary point of interest.

These beautiful birds are often overlooked when it comes to wildlife photographers which is a crying shame: they're beautiful! I love the subtle red reflection in the water and whilst this image doesn't technically follow the rule of thirds, it works here!

I love that you've photographed a heavily overlooked species and shown that they're actually really photogenic! This image works well in black and white and whilst it technically breaks the rule of thirds with the subjects looking out of the frame, it still works. I'd consider straightening the horizon here to make the image even better.

I really love how the path really draws your eye into the image, acting as a leading line. The colours are divine and the lovely cat in the foreground gives a sense of depth and scale. I'd consider just straightening the horizon out slightly to make the image even better, but be cautious to not ruin the line in the foreground (this is a tricky image to straighten!)

I love the slightly muted tones in this image as it really helps to make the subjects pop, even more so due to the texture in their skin. The focus and depth of field looks good and I like the composition with one subject looking the 'wrong' way.
