Nicely done Lezindie.

Amazing animal portraits Lezindie! Your images is sharp, well exposed with beautiful light in the eyes. You have cropped for impact and it really works well. Well done.

Ohh boy. This is beautiful. Well done John.

O wow! This is a fantastic wildlife image and congratulations with your award. Initially, I thought increasing the exposure might make it pop, but the dark, subtle mood and colours work beautifully. Just a suggestion—try cropping a bit from the left edge to improve the balance.

Stunning image John! I personally really enjoy the crop with the negative space to the left in your frame. It creates space for the Kudu to look into. The background adds drama and the lowlight impact. Although this image deserves its award, I would selectively add a little warmth to the Kudu itself, that will pop the Kudu from the similar colour…Read More

nice shots Collen. some could be sharper. Do you agree.

Thank you for posting Colleen, Although the first Cheetah looks sharp it’s evident that the cat moved slightly when you pressed the shutter. A faster shutter speed would have sorted that out for you. The second cat is unfortunately not sharp, also a focusing issue with the slow shutter speed not helping. Keep on shooting, with practise, comes perfection.

Wow beautiful shot John. Love the natural framing. Well done.

You just keep nailing the shots. Love this so much!

Wow John, Love the composition, immaculate detail on the Vulture, nothing blown out, just perfect. The fact that you underexposed adds so much drama as well as impact. The background is perfect and the tree frames the Vulture perfectly. Well done!

Beautiful close crop Jessica, The texture is beautiful and the lashes super sharp. Love the black & white conversion. Well done.

Love all the texture in this shot. And yes, the eyelashes!!

Lovely impact on the eye. Also like the black and white composition. So sharp.

Such a beautiful composition Jessica, ist sharp, good light in the eyes, perfectly expose. For a better balance in the frame, I would crop a little at the top for the subject to pop. Well done!

Beautiful shot Bruno.Your image is sharp and well exposed and ample detail in the feathers. When the background is busy, rather oppt for a f/5.6 or f/6 with a lens at that range. It will allow for the subject to pop away from the background for more imapact.

I just love this shot. WINING SHOT, But I see what you meant with the previous crop John. Well done.

Lovely image Bruno.
Hippo jaws are specially adapted to open their mouths extremely wide without tearing the skin or ligaments. This behavior is mostly used for hippos to display their teeth and jaws, which is a sign of aggression that is meant to scare off predators or other hippos competing for their territory.

Beautiful image and well captured
