New Joiners - Animals #568

Sometimes the most simplistic of images can be the most striking. I love how the mane is subtly draped along this horses back, telling anyone viewing it what the subject is. The colour palette is warm but aesthetically pleasing and natural.

I love the warm colour palette in this image which has an autumnal feel. The shallow depth of field helps draw you into those gorgeous eyes whilst removing any potential distractions from the background. The composition is good with the subject looking into the frame.

I love the simplicity of this image and the light and colour palette are divine. The composition is great with the subject looking into the frame and the focus and depth of field are spot on. Be cautious with blown highlights when photographing in harsh light.

I love how well the barn frames this handsome cow, drawing you in and the snow adds atmosphere and depth. The colour palette is warm and aesthetically pleasing and you've done well with the focus, depth of field and shutter speed.

The low angle and perspective works really well here and I think you've chosen well with processing in black and white rather than colour as it enhances the contrast and detail. The composition is spot on with wonderful symmetry and shape.

I love the shallow depth of field in this image which helps draw you into those gorgeous eyes. Your choice of black and white works well with the contrast and details and this image just goes to show that phones are capable of great images!

I love the quirky pose on this gorgeous weaver. The yellow really pops from the image and the foreground and background foliage helps to partially frame the image too. The focus is good and the shallow depth of field really helps to isolate the bird against the background.

What an incredible bird and image! It can be easy to accidentally crop wing tips or tails off with certain birds but you framed the image perfectly to include it in its entirety! The colour palette is natural but aesthetically pleasing and the composition is spot on.

The intricate details of an elephants tusk can be easily missed due to their sheer size but I love that you've captured it here. Be cautious with your depth of field when photographing up close details like this: it's often wise to increase your depth of field to include the entire subject.

I love the light on this image, almost spotlighting the faces without introducing other distracting elements or details. The black and white works really well with the contrast and sharpness and I think the shallow depth of field was a wise choice to spotlight the main horse.

The low angle works really well here and I love how the legs of the various animals help to frame the image and draw you in. Choosing black and white over colour was a wise choice to enhance the contrast and details.

I love the colour palette in this image and the panoramic crop works well! The focus and depth of field are spot on and whilst the dog may be 'breaking' some guidelines by looking out of the frame, the body direction is right and it still works regardless.

I love how you've used colours and obstacles in the foreground to frame this image and add depth whilst also removing potential distractions. The focus and depth of field are spot on along with the subject looking into the frame to draw you in.

I love how you can see the lightly frozen branches and stems in this image and the red on the cardinal really pops from the image. I'd consider increasing the exposure slightly so we can appreciate the detail on the eyes an feathers even more!
