What a special moment you’ve captured here! Your image is sharp where it matters most, with good light in the eyes, well done! The image is slightly overexposed, but hey, we can’t control the light in nature. A suggestion to improve your image is to crop more at the bottom to create a better balance in the frame. Although you want to show the…Read More

An amazing battle unfolded as the Harrier Hawk checked every nook and cranny of the weathered wood-skeleton for it’s next meal. The starlings who calls it home was not happy and a scream-fest ensued.

What a good image, the burned-out background works very well here, Landie! I really enjoy the composition, and there is so much action! The detail on the dead branch is beautiful and adds to the story—beautiful detail and colour in the Hawk’s wings, which is also nice and sharp. Unfortunately, the eye is not sharp, and that is a focusing issue. N…Read More

Thank you Bruna. I am very dissapointed in the Tamron 150-600mm – it really does not perform well at distance. I find my images are very soft when photographing smaller subjects at a distance.

Nutty Facts to Make You Appreciate Squirrels
1. Squirrels can find food buried beneath a foot of snow.
Food is important during the cold winter months for squirrels. It makes sense, therefore, that some species are able to smell food under a foot of snow. The squirrel will then dig a tunnel under the snow, following…Read More

Great action shot, Landi, and it’s definitely feature-worthy! It’s a pity there wasn’t more space included on the sides. To enhance it further, consider reducing the overall exposure and selectively dodging the gazelles and dust for added contrast. I can also imagine this photo in black and white, which with a proper edit…Read More

We missed this birth by a few minutes. The calf was just standing as we got there and still falling over as he learned to navigate his legs.

Jip.. is one of those problematic light moments with a white bird fishing in reflecting water at the wrong time of the day. I have many of them, and converting to black & white is about the only way to go. Next time, try using a slow shutter speed for a creative effect; it works well.

It is such a lovely portrait of a Buffalo. The exposure is spot-on and the image is very sharp. The idea of darkening the background worked very well, and it adds impact. A suggestion to improve your beautiful composition would be to make the white border a lot smaller, as the thick white border distracts from your image. Well done!
