New Joiners - Animals #551

I love how well the colour pops and contrasts on this image and you’ve composed it well with the subject looking into the frame and drawing you in. The shallow depth of field paired with the low angle helps to isolate the subject from the surroundings.

I love the perspective and atmosphere on this image! The snow adds an additional element and depth and the horses work well to frame the image and draw you in. The focus is spot on and the depth of field ensures all subjects are in focus without adding distracting elements.

The fencing and trees in the background work really well to frame this image and I like your choice of black and white as it adds drama and atmosphere. The focus and depth of field are spot on and the exposure is good.

I love the soft, warm light on this image and how well the soft bokeh and shallow depth of field draws you into the main subject. The focus is crisp and sharp and the butterfly looks into the image, drawing you in.

Goats have real character and I love how you've captured this with him almost sporting a curious head tilt. The out of focus goat in the background adds depth and an additional element and I like the shallow depth of field. Try to avoid cutting elements of the subject off unless intentionally capturing portraits or parts of the animal.

What a fantastic capture, bursting with both personality and character! I love the comical expression on the dog and the clean, blue background really adds to this image. The lighting and exposure are perfect with no blown highlights or lost details.

One of the more challenging aspects of photographing animals and wildlife is capturing the essence of their personality and charisma, but you've done that so well here! The soft bokeh in the background helps to draw you in and the focus is pin sharp on the eyes!

I love just how crisp and sharp the detail on these eyes are and the incredibly vibrant colours don't look over processed or saturated at all which can be tempting sometimes with such deep colours, You did a great job to capture something like this in such challenging weather conditions.

I love the wide, low angle you've captured here and the focus and exposure are absolutely spot on, with no harsh contrast or lost details. Post processing will always be a personal preference but I would have preferred a more natural colour palette.

I love the simplicity of this image and how the cables draw you into the main subject. Whilst it may break the rules on paper with the subject looking out of the frame, it works well here and the foliage in the foreground partially frames the image.

Flies and insects are sometimes overlooked or simply missed when it comes to wildlife photography but the incredible detail you've captured here shows they're great to work with. The focus and depth is spot on and I like the subtle cool colour palette.

The shallow depth of field, paired with the pin sharp focus on the eye here really draws you into the image and avoids introducing any distracting features. I like the desaturated colour palette and the fact that you've avoided cropping any part of the subject off.

The tree branches work so well to naturally frame this image and I love how crisp the focus on the eyes are. The exposure is great despite looking to be a bright day and I love the colour palette. I'd consider cropping in slightly from the right to get the leopard to look into the frame a bit more.

This image has personality and I like the vibrant daytime colours. You've exposed the image really well with no harsh highlights or shadows and whilst it may technically break some compositional 'rules', it works really well and shows that they're made to be broken!
