Cool! Tells the story and is done well... I would have like to see it a bit tighter of a crop, but nice.

Great contrast and texture in the gorilla's fur. The catch light in the left eye seems off.

I think a tighter crop from the top would work here (just down to the dimple on the skull). A rule of thumb is to either include all of something or crop a fair bit so it doesn't look like a miss. This works for most subjects, not just portraits. 7

Great study - if a little too processed/sharpened.

Wow - what a study in textures. The exposure is perfect - and the meter was probably not your friend. The intense look on the face is awesome. The horizontal white line on the left side detracts just a bit.

You did a really nice job with this shot of capturing such a great facial expression. The focus or maybe processing around the left ear area seems a bit off, but that's a pretty minor point. This is a really excellent photo.

He looks very sad. Might have upped the contrast a little.

Detail here seems a little fuzzy, like it's a sharpened version of a slightly out-of-focus shot. The captured moment and expression are great, however.

A really interesting photograph. I like shots like this. Decent focus on the front gull. Something about the background distracts me. Maybe blur it even more? Crop more of it out? A good shot in what can be very diffilcult conditions to photgoraph with strange lighting, and fast flying birds.

great details and expression. tonal range could be more extensive - the image does have a gray washed out look to it, but it is a very nice animal portrait.
