New Joiners - Animals #694

This image works really well in black and white, adding to the contrast and detail on the whiskers and fur. I really like the highlighting along the head and you've captured a great expression. Wildlife can be tricky to predict but sometimes it's better to fill the frame slightly less and then crop in to avoid accidentally cropping features off the subject.

The expression you've captured on this image is truly fantastic and the shallow depth of field ensures that there are no distracting elements introduced into the background to draw us away. The composition is spot on and this image works well in colour but would also work in black and white!

The composition is fabulous here, with great context of the surroundings and an intriguing narrative which keeps you engaged. It works really well in black and white by enhancing the contrast and adding mood. If this is a crop, try to include the toe of the bull.

The various expressions and poses you've captured here are are fabulous. It can be difficult to compose an image when you have several subjects all looking in various directions but I'd consider a square crop on this image focused on the main group.

The cock in the front acts as a natural frame for the two hens at the back. I like the warm colour palette and the pinks and reds pop really well from the image. The focus is pin sharp and the shallow depth of field ensures our eyes don't wander.

The warm colour palette and light is divine in this image. I love the simplicity and how much detail you've captured on the feet, face and feathers. It works well as a square crop but could also work as the original aspect ratio depending on what has been cropped out.

You've captured fantastic poses and expressions on both lions and I think you chose well to centralise them. This image would work well as a square crop too but I like that you've kept it on the original aspect ratio.

The colour on this image is so vibrant and aesthetically pleasing without being overly processed or pushed. I really like the depth of field as it ensures the vast majority of the subject is in focus along with a shallow band of the web, without introducing elements from the background.

This image is fantastic and I like how expressive and emotive it is. It works well in black and white by enhancing the contrast and texture in the skin. I think this image could work really well as a square crop too.

The colour on this image really pops, but I think it could work just as well if not better in black and white too. I like the centralised composition with the symmetry on the face and the detail you've captured on the fur and snow is fabulous.

The eyes are so engaging and it works so well being centralised to draw you in. Be cautious when processing your images not to push the saturation too far: I think this image would be more impactful in black and white.

The shallow depth of field is great here: the drakes in the foreground frame the main subject and this is enhanced further by how pin sharp the focus is. I'd consider cropping slightly more from the top right corner to get the white duck to look into the frame a bit more.

The eyes and expression on the central cub is incredibly aesthetically pleasing and really draws you into the image. I really like the image as it is but think it would work even better if you cropped the cub out on the right but this is naturally a personal preference.

I like how the shallow depth of field ensures that the twigs and branches in the background don't draw our attention away from the main subject. The red on the eye really draws you in and the warm hues are aesthetically pleasing.

I really like the colour palette of this image and you've got such a fabulous narrative without saying a single word. This image would also work really well as a square crop as the baboons would look into the frame more.
