New Joiners - Animals #786

I love how you've managed to capture such fantastic detail on this handsome donkey, and yet we can still make out detail and information of the surroundings which gives us more context. It work well in black and white and I like the composition.

What a moment to capture! These moments can be hard to anticipate and if shooting in shaded or darker conditions it can be tricky. There's slight motion blur due to the slower shutter speed but this can be tricky to balance when there's a lot less movement prior.

I love the light you've captured here, with that wonderful catchlight in the eye making a huge difference to the overall image. I'd consider ever so slightly cropping from the top left corner but this is a personal preference and definitely isn't 'needed'.

What a truly handsome boy! I love the framing and composition in this image (although I'd even consider going a tiny bit further and cropping that bottom left corner out). The exposure, colour and focus are all spot on and it's a really fantastic moment you've captured!

I love the depth and layers in this image, with that content face in the foreground leading you into a cluster of flippers, heads and wonderful detail to explore. It works well in black and white and the depth of field is spot on.

What a gorgeous langur and I love how well the surrounding foliage frames him, both due to the colour contrast and all the exposure. The composition is good with the subject looking into the frame, along with great focus and exposure.

I love how you've captured such an explosion of colour in that eye, framed wonderfully by that desaturated fur. I love how much detail you've captured, both in the eye but also the fur. If this is a crop, I'd consider moving the eye lightly more toward the top left corner.

The colour on this gorgeous parrot pops from the image due to the contrast against that black background. I love how much detail you've captured in the eye and the feathers are so pin sharp, working well with the narrative of captivity.

I love the personality shining through in this image! You've chosen your depth of field wisely to minimise any potential distraction from the fence in the background and the detail on the bill and feathers is fantastic here, with those eyes popping from the image.

This image works well in black and white, enhancing that contrast on the gull and separating it well from the background. The composition is good with the bird looking into the frame and it's good that you included the gulls reflection too.

This is a unique and enjoyable composition that I can't help but explore. The lighting, exposure, composition and focus are all spot on and I love the detail in the reflection too. I'd consider trying this in black and white too.

The depth of field and separation from the background here is utterly fantastic, helping to enhance that colour and detail on the subject. I'd consider cropping in from the top right corner to get the bird to look into the frame a bit more.

I love the high contrast in this image and how well the iridescent green on the feathers pops. The subtle catch lighting in the eye is divine and I love how much atmosphere it adds. I'd consider a small crop from the left hand side.

The warm, autumnal colours in this image are truly divine and really adds to the image. I love how the foliage frames this handsome red panda so well, along with the branches. I'd crop slightly from the left or convert to a square aspect ratio.
