great poses. the reflections make this shot as well as having the foreground bird with his back towards us, giving a great view of the long white head feathers. His pose amuses me too - it looks like he's just a guy standing there with his hands in his pockets, watching the world go by. well done.

A photogenic pair captured nicely. Exposure perfect with flat lighting. Well done.

Nice composition. It would have looked much better if it was a bit sharper and brownish bits were't there. It looks a bit untidy. But well spotted.

Hrm, taken through reeds? The slight orange/yellow mostly on the lower right are a little distracting. The blue of the water is good, and I love the reflections. I dont know whether these are two different sized birds or just the perspective difference thing, but they appear different enough to be interesting, and helps the composition. They seem a little soft as if this is a crop from a much larger image, but there is fairly good texture in the feathers. Good shot!

Would YOU mess with this one?

nice gorilla too bad the shade is hitting his right eye area but it looks like his fur was just brushed and groomed

Get rid of the vine in the foreground, otherwise cool pose.

No, I wouldn't mess with this guy. Good compostion overall. Pity the eyes are in the shadows. Fill-in flash might have worked but perhaps you had to keep your distance. Good luck. 8
