Lions were scattered under trees with full bellies when the cubs started playing with the remains of the unfortunate buffalo.

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

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!
