Female Bison in the Wild

I like what looks like aspens in the background, they add a nice background and good color that continues with the grass. The exposure is good and you can see the wonderful textures of the fur. The composition of filling the frame with the bison is good but the pose itself is rather static. It works as a profile shot showing off the frame of the bison but it just lacks some interest. It's quite hard, especially in the wild, to find different or unusual poses of well-photographed animals.

The background seems a little too busy or contrasty and so the bird blends a little. It does have a somewhat 3d feel to it after you look at it for a while but I have to say I would have preferred a different background. The focus on the goose is good, especially considering he's flying. It also looks fairly sharp. His wings look a little blue, which is quite unusual looking.

Life as a Swan

I like the reflection and the ripple in the water. The tones are interesting, almost pastel except for the reeds/weeds/grass. The orange/yellow and black of the beak stands out nicely compared to the white of the swan. Exposure looks ok too.

The image seems a little static with the center placement of the deer. Shifting them to the left a little could make it a little more dynamic and the direction the deer is viewing would help to lead the eye out of the frame. I like the even lighting and the dark wood behind has an almost spooky feel to it. The image is also a little soft.

The composition with the bird on the right is good, although I would likely crop half of the sky out to make the image more dynamic. As is the negative space above the bird is making it appear small and lost within such a large area. By cropping some of the top the bird appears larger in the frame. The colors look a little wishy washy and could probably do with a slight saturation boost. I like the leading line of the post to bird and then out of the frame along the mountain range.

You've managed to capture an interesting bird in what appears to be the wild. Unfortunately the quality of the image isnt the best. The bird itself seems to have two tones, almost like you tried to recover details in the shadows (the tail feathers) and it just lightened them up unnaturally. The bird is quite a distance away and so there are hardly any details to be seen and it looks quite soft. Although having the foliage in there gives a sense of location they are mostly blurry and seem more like a distraction.

Wonderful focus! These guys are so difficult to get while flying and you've captured a very nicely exposed, sharp, and unusual shot. The color is great and the dark grey feel is very atmospheric and dramatic. Excellent details in the feathers and even in the highlights/shadows. The angle of the shot and the crop has made the wings the focus point and they do an excellent job at that. Impressive shot!

You've managed to catch an unusual moment that is also humorous, which is exactly what makes images like this stick out. The exposure is good, which is quite difficult with gorillas because they are so dark. You have good details in the face and texture in the hair. The eyes are a little dark but you've got the catchlights so they still communicate with the viewer. Kinda reminds me of 'see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil'. Fun shot!

The light and color is excellent. and your exposure is good. The details of the features are wonderful and the bird looks in focus and nicely sharp. The pose is fairly generic, which isnt a bad thing but with wildlife photography you're always trying to capture something just a little different. I'm also not sure about the cropped feet on the foreground bird and the head crop with the background birds. The colorful reflections fill up the negative space to the left of the bird but I still get a feeling that I would rather see him isolated, a closer shot, or with more of a crowd. It's still a good shot.

A very sleek animal indeed. Animal shots are very similar to human shots in regards to some of the features to look out for. One thing they suggest you not do is to have the background going 'through' the head. Another is the importance of the eyes. Eyes communicate with the viewer and as with humans, animal eyes show a lot of character. You got good even lighting, the coloration is also good, and it's nicely sharp. I dont think the amount of background used establishes enough of a setting to be too useful and the full body pose looks a little awkward. The head is upright and alert and so I would have been inclined to zoom or crop in a little more to isolate the markings and texture.
