New Joiners - Animals #807

The contrast between the subject and the background is brilliant and works really well to frame this gorgeous dog. I like the centralised composition given the symmetry in the body and whilst the face looks slightly to the right, it's not enough to justify moving the subject to the left.

The eye alone is so striking but enhanced even further with the detail in the scales. The depth of field is so well chosen to capture the detail in the face whilst ensuring no details in the background distract us away.

There's often the temptation to only post the 'cute' or aesthetically pleasing side of wildlife, but it's important for wildlife photography to encompass both the good and bad when it comes to nature. The colour really pops from this image with good detail and light.

I really love the framing on this image and how there's numerous elements to explore. The focus is spot on, paired with lovely bokeh in the background giving nice separation. This image works well in colour but would be a good contender for black and white too.

I really love the framing and composition on this image. It works really well in black and white to remove any distracting elements, enhance the contrast and isolate that gorgeous cat. Whilst you've arguably used a 'slow' shutter speed for a moving subject it's worked!

The bokeh on this image is gorgeous and I love how you've used a silhouette rather than capturing the detail on the bird. Whilst it does work in colour, the colour doesn't 'add' to the image so I'd consider converting to black and white.

I love the light and colour you've captured in the eye here and it pops so well against the background. I'd consider decreasing the contrast slightly, or alternatively increasing the exposure just to reduce the vignetting effect slightly to ensure the image looks slightly more natural.

The low perspective on this image works well and I love the framing from the surrounding elements. The colour is good along with the composition and you've achieved good focus on the eye and face with a nice smooth background.

I love that you've used a wider angle and perspective on this image as it works really well paired with the shallow depth of field. It goes to show that phones are quite capable when it comes to photographing things at a close distance.

I love the composition and framing on this one and whilst it looks like it was taken in non optimal light it's worked out well. I like the warm colour palette and how well the red pops from the overall image.

What an adorable expression you've captured here, paired with beautiful catch lighting on the eyes. Shooting slightly down has worked better than at 'eye level' here due to the shape on the legs and body, working to frame the face well.

This image shows that you don't need to fill the frame to capture captivating wildlife images. I love how the foreground foliage frames this gorgeous bobcat and the colour is not overly processed or pushed but instead is naturally vibrant and aesthetically pleasing.

I love the colour and light contrast in this image, with those red hues popping really well from the image. The perspective works well to give us a small amount of context of the surroundings without being distracting. I'd bring back the toe on the left if this is a cropped image.

Whilst gulls are often overlooked and under appreciated in the wildlife photography world, they have such potential as you've shown here|! I like that the gull is moving away from the camera with that raised foot, paired with nice framing.

You captured some brilliant action here, with creative use of a flash to freeze some of the action whilst there's still some slight movement perceivable in the tongue. I like the clean, dark background and how the body of the snake acts like a leading line into the image.
