New Joiners - Animals #871

Those eyes have such fantastic catch lighting and really draw you into the image. I'd consider cropping this more tightly as the bottom of the body is cropped, so why not turn it into more of a portrait with the subject looking into the frame.

The detail is divine in this image and I love how you've captured a slither of detail in the wings too. The composition is good and the colour palette is consistent and aesthetically pleasing, creating an overall wonderful and engaging image.

I love the low angle and perspective here which gives us good context of the surrounding elements and that wonderful colour in the sky! I'd consider increasing the exposure slightly so we can see some more detail on the face and eyes.

What a gorgeous image and I love the atmosphere created with the streaks of rain. The colour is good and that amber eye pops from the image well. I like your choice to use a square crop with the subject centralised, despite this breaking some compositional 'rules'.

The shallow depth of field works fantastically here to draw you in the image, especially with such detail on the face and eyes. If this is already a crop, try to bring the feet back in and if not, I'd recommend a crop from the top left corner.

What marvellous light and atmosphere in this image and you've done well to line the three up like this. I like the fact that the shallow depth of field helps draw us into the foreground subject, whilst still giving us enough detail for the ones in the back.

What a great capture and those punchy, vibrant reds pop so well against a crisp and wintery backdrop. If you look closely you notice the seed 'floating' between them, making it even more clear that this is a squabble over food.

I love how you've got a natural frame with the large trunks and branches and whilst there appears to be a shadow casting stripes onto the heron, it doesn't draw you away. I'd consider a slight crop from the left to get him to look into the frame more.

You've got good diagonal lines in this image, along with nice depth and separation from the background. It works well in colour but I think it could be a great candidate for black and white too due to the contrast.

This bird has lovely framing, both due to the shape but also those wonderful, punchy colours on the berries. It's difficult to tell from the image but if you have the space, I'd change the crop to move the bird to the right of the image, assuming the surrounding elements allow for this.

You've timed this image well with great natural framing from the the grass strands around the bird. I'd consider a slight crop from the bottom right corner to get the bird to look into the frame more and move it from the centre.

You've captured such fantastic and crisp detail on the plumage here and I love the small flecks of snow throughout. I'd consider increasing the exposure here to make the snow look less grey and dirty but also to bring out more detail on the head.

You captured the spray wonderfully here and each droplet looks like it has a small rainbow in! The expression and shape on the ears and face are comedic and the persons feet in the back almost act as a natural frame.

What a serene and lovely image and I love how the rolling mounds of snow act as a leading line to draw you into the subject and image. The exposure is spot on with crisp snow and great detail on the fox.
