New Joiners - Animals #641

I like the atmospheric feel of this image, with great contrast and detail which draws you in to explore the image. I'd consider cropping from the left to get the dogs to move into the frame rather than centralising them.

The iridescent colours of the blues and oranges are truly striking on this image and really catches you eye. The composition is good with the birds looking into the frame and the branch acts as a partial, natural frame to help draw you in further.

The contrast between the subjects and the background is fabulous due to that gorgeous colour and yet it still gives us good context of the surrounding habitat. I'd consider cropping ever so slightly from the right to balance out the space from the edge.

I really like the various leading lines across this image and the waterfall works well as a partial frame. If this image is captured through glass you've still managed to capture great detail, with minimal to no softening or artefacts.

I love the cheeky expression you've captured in this image and the composition works well with the face centralised due to the symmetry. When shooting in snow, the camera will often try to underexpose the image but I'd strongly recommend increasing the exposure here to make the image even more aesthetically pleasing.

The background on this image is gorgeous, with beautiful warm hues and aesthetically pleasing colours. Be cautious when doing selective exposure changes to your images, especially when increasing the shadows as it can add grain and noise to the areas you target.

The light and atmosphere in this image is moody and aesthetically pleasing and I love how the angle of the light enhances the detail on the fur. The colour pops out of the image and draws people in and it works with the subject centralised.

The black background really works well to draw you into the subject and I love the subtle warm hues on the foreground and squirrel. The composition is good with the squirrel looking into the frame with a great depth of field.

The detail on the scales of this subject is so defined that it almost seems tactile and I love how each spine along the back pops from the image. I love how the light subtly hits the eye bringing out that gorgeous amber colour.

The composition is fabulous on this image, with great framing from the surroundings and good context too. I like the warm, softer light which is more balanced across the scene and the lack of eye contact from the subject engages you as a viewer with intrigue.

I like the soft bokeh in the background of this image, giving the feel of a shaded woodland surrounding. The eyes are striking and you can't help but gaze into them which aids the composition further with the bird looking into the frame.

The contrast you've captured in this image is fabulous and despite the apparent harsh light the image still has great colour and no harsh shadows or highlights. If this is a crop it could also work with the elephant on the right of the frame.

You've captured a gorgeous pose on this squirrel, almost as if she's sitting up with eagerness or anticipation. I like the crop despite it 'breaking' some compositional guidelines but I'd be curious to see the image if you move the subject to the right slightly too.

I love the atmosphere you've captured in this image with the snow streaking across the image with that gorgeous fox standing out. The reds are natural but still vibrant and the composition is great with the fox looking into the frame and a nice split between foreground and background.
