I chose this one for a few reasons. First, great composition. Great moment as well. It is also a good edit. I'm sure this is a picture they treasure from that day

Overall, looking at your gallery it is pretty good. A few recommendations (strictly my opinion) - on your b&w images don't be afraid to hit some of the blackest blacks and a lil of whitest whites. A few fall a little flat, but pushing that tonal range will definitely give them some more  punch. Secondly, watch your frame edges and crops. Some of the crops could be better. I know on one it was a horse shot where the ears were both cropped off. I've always been told you never crop at joints either (both human and animal wise). Finally, your focus is soft at times. If you have to ask if it's in focus then it's not in focus. The way I shoot, I set my camera to focus from the center point in my viewfinder. I focus my subject then simply recompose the frame and shoot. It's the easiest way I have found to be in control of auto focus.

I really did like your gallery though, and it was cool to look through the entire gallery and see how you've grown as a photographer. You choose interesting subjects and you're not afraid to experiment with angles It certainly shows that you have a passion for photography. You also shoot well in color and black and white I hope you don't take anything I mentioned personally, I am incredibly fickle when it comes to photography (even more so when its my own).

This one is so lovely and the lighting is gorgeous!


Your gallery is amazing! I love your nature and animal photography!

I like this one, partly 'cos the title made me chuckle:



Your black and white closeups in general really give a sense of personality, I think. Make the animal seem almost human.

You're a terrific photographer, by the way

What I liked: I liked the shots when it was 'action' packed, the central figures were in it or there was an interesting angle: For example-      

What I liked the least: These are more nitpicks on my part so please forgive me. For a few of the pictures, the color looks way too bright. A few look a bit blurry (but that could be me) Some had interesting angles but there was more 'empty space' than the subject: For example: 

  


Did I do this right? I'm sorry if I got the task wrong.

I think this was my favourite;


It was tough to make a decision though - I really enjoyed all of your animal photography.  The close ups and the action shots especially!  I left some comments but I'm afraid I don't know enough about photography to critique.
