New Joiners - Animals #539

I really love the abstract nature of this image and the shape of the tail feathers fanning out, paired with the wing is gorgeous. The colour is really vibrant and pops without being pushed too far but I'd consider running this image through Denoise software to make it even better!

The framing on this image is fantastic, with the branch and foliage drawing your eye into the main subject. This image works well in black and white, but I'd consider increasing the contrast slightly to make it pop even more!

What an incredibly beautiful portrait! I love how well the eyes stand out from the image and the lighting is absolutely fantastic, helping to make this dog pop even more from his oterhwise cluttered surroundings. The focus and depth of field is spot on and I like the ferns in the foreground which add more depth.

How lucky you are to have such a character visiting your garden! I love the expression and pose you've captured here and the focus and depth of field are spot on. I'd consider cropping in slightly from the left to get him to look into the frame more.

I really love how you've captured both the lions and elephant in this single image and it has a great, atmospheric feel. With the composition it's always best to include all of the animal so try not to crop things like the feet off wherever possible!

I love the dramatic and aesthetically pleasing light on this image and the focus and depth of field are absolutely spot on, drawing your attention towards the eyes. The composition is fabulous and the sofa almost acts as a leading line to draw you in.

The colour palette on this image is absolutely fabulous and I love how you've used a shallow depth of field to isolate that vibrant eye. The composition is good and I especially like that the bird is looking away from the camera, plus the rain adds an additional element to the image.

I love the composition on this image and how, whilst the subjects eye is centralised, the body angle still draws you into the image. I would consider cooling this image down a touch in post processing with the white balance.

I really like the high contrast in this image and it works really well in black and white. The focus and depth of field are good and I like the separation from the background. Swans can often be misunderstood in terms of their behaviour and perceived aggression but are fabulous to work with if you can overcome the trepidation.

I love how atmospheric this image is, especially with the textured clouds and wonderful contrast. The colours on the flowers really pops from the surroundings and the depth of field and focus is fantastic. I'd consider increasing the exposure on the foreground ever so slightly to bring out the detail more.

The colour really pops from this image, helped further by the shallow depth of field and muted colours in the surroundings. Try to make your subject look into the frame whenever possible and I'd consider adding a subtle vignette to this image to make it pop even more!

What a beautiful bird with a pristine background! The focus is spot on and you've chosen your depth of field really well to isolate him from his surroundings. The colour pops and the composition is good, drawing you into the image.

I love the action of this image and how well you've framed it with the wildebeest in the foreground. The exposure, focus and colour palette are spot on. I'd consider cropping in ever so slightly from the left to remove the tree in on the edge.
