New Joiners - Animals #552

I love the shape on this flamingo and the pink colours pop so well from the surroundings. The focus and depth of field is good but I'd consider increasing the exposure slightly. When it comes to the crop, try to ensure your subject has breathing space around the edges.

I love how much character this image has and the orange on the bill pops so well from the surroundings. The composition is good and the foliage surrounding the duck helps to frame it and draw you into the image.

Gulls are so easily overlooked when it come to wildlife photography, but these intelligent birds are a worthwhile subject to work with as you've shown here! I love the subtle, pastel colour palette and the wide angle showing the surroundings is lovely.

I love the composition on this image, with the adult ponies wonderfully framing the young one. The exposure is good despite the harsh, midday sun and the focus, depth of field and colour palette are spot on. Try to avoid cropping parts of subjects off when possible.

The focus is so crisp on this image which draws you into the eyes perfectly. The shallow depth of field and clean background really helps to amplify this further and I love the pastel colour palette and composition. A great overall image!

The composition on this image is gorgeous, with the eye line of the lioness drawing you into the image really well and a nice clean background. The colour palette is warm and aesthetically pleasing and you've done a great job retaining so much detail through glass!

I love this image! You've taken a subject that is sometimes considered ugly and given it character and personality! I love his grumpy expression and the focus is so pin sharp on the eyes, with a gorgeous shallow depth of field drawing you in.

I love how content this seal looks and the colour palette is warm and aesthetically pleasing. The focus is crisp and sharp and the shallow depth of field ensures nothing distracts you from the surroundings. The composition works well despite breaking some of the 'rules'.

What charismatic birds! It's often difficult to know how to compose an image with several subjects looking in opposite directions but you've done well here with two looking in! The focus, depth of field and colour palette are all spot on.

I really love the warm colour palette on this image yet it still has a crisp, cold atmosphere. The focus is spot on and I like the shallow depth of field which draws you into the foreground sheep, yet you still have context of the surroundings.

The shallow depth of field is fabulous here, drawing you into those gorgeous eyes! It can be hard to capture personality in wildlife, let alone insects, but I'd argue you've achieved this here! I'd consider increasing the exposure slightly so we can appreciate the details more.

I love what you've captured here! It has great character and you chose the shutter speed well to ensure the action is frozen. The exposure is spot on despite difficult lighting conditions with no blown highlights or harsh shadows. Whilst it's difficult to do in practice, try to ensure you don't crop any features off your subject unless intended.

What a fantastic image! The colour is fabulous and I love the contrast between the warm light and the textured clouds. I'd consider cropping the lower left wire out of the image to remove any possible distraction but this is a personal preference.

I love how crisp and sharp this image is and despite the bright conditions you've exposed it perfectly with no blown highlights or lost shadows and lovely mottled light. The composition is gorgeous with the subject looking into the frame and no distracting elements.
