Great set of pictures! I’m particularly fond of the one with the grill, shot against the red floral background—very interesting angle. You clearly have a keen eye for capturing cars, especially with their architectural elements like geometric lines, shapes, and glossy surfaces. The textures are fantastic.
Just a bit of feedback: the shot wit…Read More

Wow well done Lezindie. You got this spot on with what is a rather difficult shoot at that speed and so close to you. Not everyone get this the first time.👏👏

O! How time flies!
We were walking the streets of Lesotho and I saw the old lady from afar. I knew I wanted a picture of her. She was such a beautiful character. I took the picture with my i-phone and did some processing in Photoshop. To me this picture symbolizes aging and how time just flies by.

A nice set of pictures, Riette. I really like the angles and the nostalgic feel. While the desaturated vintage effect works well, I think adding a bit more colour pop and contrast could enhance this beautiful set even more. Please upload these pictures to the OneDrive folders so I can show you how I would have edited them in our upcoming Monday…Read More

Very nice. The insects is such an imporatnt part of life.
Most of the insects we are familiar with are tiny little things, but praying mantises are among the giants of the insect world. The praying mantises we see locally can be 2 inches to 3 inches long or even more, but don’t let that fool you into thinking they will be easy to spot.Despite…Read More

Hi Renate just my penny’s worth—I would have loved to see more subject and less background in these shots. The backgrounds feel quite busy, which makes the subject get a little lost, especially since the colours aren’t popping. John Fox has a great system where he sometimes uses a colourful paper backdrop to make insects stand out. It’s som…Read More

TUTOR
I started my wildlife photography journey with nothing but a passion for capturing what I had seen unfold before me for years.
Determined I could achieve that, I set out with the most basic equipment, and eventually, my efforts were rewarded.
I, fortunately, love travel and being in my own company, so I spend months on the road in perfect partnership with the animals, great light, and the landscape. My confidence grew, and my images started to speak for themselves; so did my range of equipment, as did the awards.
My proudest moment was being made a Licentiate by the Photography Society of South Africa. I take so much pride in the steps I have taken, and it gives me such joy to see my work in magazines and hanging on walls of game lodges across Africa.
My philosophy is that anyone can acquire technical skills in photography. Still, you need heart, passion and a deep connection with what is around you to capture the finest of what Mother Nature has on offer.
Lezindie, even though you’re not a pro member, I’m happy to critique this picture. I love the simplicity and the lighting—well done! I would have liked to see a bit more space, especially at the top, as the scene feels grand and could use more room. Adding extra clarity and sharpness, especially around the edges of the mountain, would have enhan…Read More
