Full Version: Wild Animals
those deviantart labels make it very hard to analyse the pictures 
I'm sorry, I just dont want these shots to be ripped or passed around as someone elses work, I tried real hard to capture these.

watermarks won't protect your images, if they really want them they can easily take them. Post thunbnails and you'll probably get more comments as we're all too lazy to click to other sites here.
Okay, here we are, some thumbnails - not all, but my favourite ones from the collection.

There are shots out of focus. Like lion king, it looks foggy to my eye.
Pure green is nice but mybe it would be better without the exessive empty space on the sides, i would have cut it down a little
On the lookout - coulrs are faded, if this was taken in rawe you could try adding some saturation
the last to i mentioned are also centered shot.. In last case it is reall bad as the empty space on right of the animal is left totaly unnoticable as the animal itself is looking left and this draws atention to the left epmty side of the photo. Now you could have tried placing animal on a right third.
taste of air - out of focus
razor sharp is something that i like, good close up
gorilla kind - out of focus and taken to far, the face of gorilla is black and you cant see the eyes (maybe it is also because of the watermark.
just chillin' - next time making a shot like that, try to get the whole beast onto the shot. At the moment it looks like you have just selected a point and cut it into half
scorpio - what was your goal on that photo? The capture the claw? In this case you succeeded. To capture the scorpio? You failed. On animal shot what people mostly want to see is the face
On the Hunt - is a big mess, everything theat can distract a photo are in focus... What would have saved the shot had been cutting it verticaly while conecentrating on the head skin and the piece of wood there... Also out of focus. At this version my eye is drawn on the hay on right corner and then I notice the snake.
Just Chillin' - No. 2 - look out of focus and colours are faded... This is good only sometimes but when you have a colourful animal it would be better to try to get all the colours on a shot and in case of failure you can turn them up later in photoshop
Ribbet - out of focus... I start to think that you have used AF mode and this does a lot of mistakes when choosing the best point to focus.
On the edge - it should be iguana... What distracts on the photo is flash, it reflects from the wet skin of the animal.
Good job anyway! At least you're trying! 6/10 as a total score

Nice shots you have here! I like the detailed shot of Pure Green. What camera did you use?
I used the Canon EOS 400D with the standard 18-5mm Kit Lens.
Thank you for the comment.
