As quiet as a mouse…
My dog chased this little guy into a tree. He sat almost motionless for quite some time.

Thank you, Bruna. I agree, the DoF is very shallow. The mouse was perched at about eye height for me with a lot of foliage in the way. I realised that if I crouch on the ground under the tree, I had an unobstructed ‘tunnel’ to the subject. I had a difficult time staying beyond the minimal focal distance of the lens. (it was also handheld) As for…Read More

This is a Brown-hooded Kingfisher, and you captured it beautifully. The background is nicely blurred, free from distractions. The image is sharp and well-exposed, with excellent light in the eye. The Kingfisher’s colours are rendered true to life, and the feather detail is impressive. For improvement, consider cropping slightly more at the bottom,…Read More

One of those precious moments in nature, and you captured it perfectly. You ticked all the ‘PPP’ boxes in wildlife photography: Patience, Persistence, and Perfection.
Although the background is busy, the unique moment you captured adds far more impact and value, drawing the viewer’s eye to the subject and allowing the background to fade away. Well done.

Well spotted, Renate. The image is well exposed with good light in the eye, and the background is nicely blurred to avoid distraction. For improvement, on a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV (a full-frame camera), using a 400mm lens with a 1.4x extender results in a focal length of 560mm. At 560mm and f/8, the depth of field is very shallow, especially at…Read More
