His Name Is Luke

It's to bad that this was captured with a cement wall as the background. It is always better to capture these images with the perception that it was taken in the wile. The focus is bang on and it is the first Lion capture I have seen thus far where the mouth was not bleached due to processing. I would have also tried to not have so much wasted space on the right especially with the cement background. It is too bad that this will not score as well as it deserves as the Lion itself is well done. Good Luck. 5.

Decent capture. Nice and relaxing. With many landscape shots, this will be in some tough competition. Good Luck. 5.

Contrast

I have looked at this a couple of times and struggle with the fall leaf especially with the fact that you have cut it off and you have all that water around the bird. As for contrast, there is enough in the face to support the title and again the leaf distracts me. Good Luck. 4.

Not sure I wouldn't have done the narrow DoF here. I think the entire stem? should have been in focus with the waterdrop. Good Luck. 5.

NIce capture and lighting. They eye is really nice. the Processing isn't very strong and I get really distracted by the bleached out fur on both the chin and around the ear. Also, This should have been in colour without a doubt in my mind. Good Luck. 5.
