New Joiners - Animals #574

What stunning blue eyes! I love the playful nature in his eyes and you've captured the image so well! The foreground and background bokeh helps to draw you in further and you've nailed the exposure, composition and natural colour palette.

Peacocks are such visually stunning subjects and you've captured his elegance and flare beautifully. Post processing is always a personal preference but I'd recommend reducing the vignette slightly to make it more subtle whilst still helping to draw people into the image.

What an incredibly stunning dog! I love how well you’ve captured the personality and character in a single image and the halloween theme adds some atmosphere but also colour and vibrance to the image. The composition and exposure is spot on and overall it’s a great image.

This image definitely has the cute factor and the composition is good as the lamb both frames the image whilst also being the main point of interest. Composition is a personal preference of the photographer but I’d consider giving the subject a bit more space on the left of the image.

I love how well you've captured the intricate details on this jellyfish! The colour palette and light beams radiating from the top really add to the calm, ocean feel and atmosphere of the image. I like how the surrounding jellyfish almost frame the main subject.

This image has such character! I love how you've captured the cub with his feet up, showing those fabulous claws and details. The snow adds depth and atmosphere and I love how the mum is looking into the image and framing the overall shot.

The composition on this image is great and despite it appearing to be a bright day, it hasn't negatively impacted the colour palette and contrast. The foliage in the foreground and tree acts as a natural frame to draw you in.

I love how you've used the foreground foliage here to frame this handsome penguin, adding depth and isolation. The composition is great with the subject looking into the frame and no distracting elements. I'd consider increasing the exposure slightly so we can appreciate the finer details even more!

The wall and pipe surrounding the subject really helps to frame him and draw you in. Be cautious with your white balance to ensure the colour palette doesn't become artificially warm: I'd consider cooling this image down slightly if you have a RAW file!

The light in this image is so striking and I love that you've chosen black and white as it adds to the contrast and detail. The composition is absolutely spot on and I love the simplistic nature of the image as it really makes it pop!

What a fantastic capture! Capturing behaviour or a narrative in wildlife photography requires patience and a pinch of luck and I'd argue you clearly had both for this image! I'd consider increasing the exposure ever so slightly but this is a personal preference.

The harsh contrast and lighting on this image has allowed you to create great separation between the subject and the background. The colour on this handsome pelican pops so well and the contrast means that we can really appreciate every fine detail on the feathers and pouch.

The light in this image is absolutely divine and creates such good separation between the fish and the black background. The colours pop so well and I like how the fish in the background frame the main subject and draw you in.

You've captured this image incredibly well and we can see and appreciate every single fibre and detail on the feathers, eye and bill. The dark background really helps to isolate this handsome eagle and the composition is great with no distracting elements.

It's not everyday that you can see or photograph giraffes interacting with one another so I love what you've captured here! The colour palette is quintessential Africa: warm, vibrant and natural with great exposure and depth of field removing any distracting elements.
