I love the unique perspective on this image, paired with the gorgeous colour palette, great expression and the shallow depth of field which draws you in. The composition is spot on and the focus looks crisp and sharp. A great image!

I adore this image for numerous reasons: the branches act as a natural frame, drawing your attention into this comical gorilla. The colour palette is natural and aesthetically pleasing the and the focus looks crisp, paired with a great depth of field.

The pin sharp focus on this image is divine and I love how you've shot at a low angle to get a shallow depth of field across the water. The composition is good and I love how you've captured him fluffing up.

I love how you've used a shallow depth of field to draw people into her eyes and shooting down worked really well. The warm colour palette is aesthetically pleasing and the composition is lovely. Try using a faster shutter speed if she's constantly on the move!

Black-headed gulls can be so heavily overlooked as a photography subject but they're such characters and you've captured great action here. The focus is spot on, the low angle helps to isolate him from his surroundings and I love the flick of water from his feet.

I love the warm hues of this image and how you've chosen to centralise the subject: it works well with some great symmetry The shallow depth of field really draws you into the eyes and the focus is spot on.

I love the arid, dry feel of this image as it adds to the atmosphere. The colour palette works really well, the composition is spot on with the subject looking and moving into the frame and I like the slightly low angle.

I adore the composition of this image and how some of the foliage in the foreground adds depth to the image. The colours are natural and whilst this technically breaks some compositional guidelines with the subject looking out of the frame it still works!

I love the composition, with space for the lion to move into and how the foliage on the left acts as a partial natural frame. The depth of field and focus are good. Be cautious when making selective adjustments to exposure as this can show on the edges sometimes.

Goldfinches are such vibrant birds and you've captured this one fabulously. The colour palette is warm and natural, the focus and depth of field are spot on and the composition works well. I'd consider giving the subject a little bit more space to look into.

I love how well the red on this birds eye pops from the image! The foreground foliage acts as a natural frame which draws you into the image and the detail is gorgeous with perfect focus and a nice depth of field.

The colour palette and light on this image is divine and I love the shallow depth of field with the focus perfectly on the eyes which draws you in. The composition is great and I like how the other cow partially frames the image.

The subtle, warm light and colour on this image is fabulous and I love the backlit insects around the cows. The composition is good despite the left cow looking out of the frame. I'd consider putting this image through some Denoise software to maximise it's potential.

The texture and detail on this image is excellent and I love how the tree in the foreground adds some depth and framing. The eye stands out nicely which can be challenging with elephants. Post processing is a personal preference for the photographer but I'd consider making the colour palette more natural.
