Ring-Tailed Lemar

please look through my photos and tell me how i'm doing...

Theresa,

The lemar is very sharp, particularly the eyes, which is key for any portrait wildlife or human. Areas for improvement: 1) moving the sbuject from the center of the photo will usually make for a more interesting compositiion. 2) this scene is very cluttered. I imagine this is a zoo, and difficult to isolate your subject. One way to help clean up the shot and draw empahasis to your subject is to use a wide open aperture, thereby limiting depth of field, blurring the clutter and drawing attention to your subject.

On the whole, I like your work. Keep shooting!

This is a decent shot, but the effect would be greatly improved if you cropped the left side away and some of the bottom.

 

The color does seem a bit flat and overly green. Perhaps it was the poor lighting or the film.

Theresa, I had a shot of a butterfly surrounded by flowers and in the center of the exposure. I liked it, but it still seemed too flat, not exciting. I cropped it substantially and then did a bit of saturation with PS. Now it looks nice and two colleagues have taken the time to comment and rate it. Moral? Crop and saturate this one. You'll see the difference: it will improve a lot!

Reduce the depth of field to highlight this critter a bit more.

I like your folder very much and this image of lemurs is very interesting ..... the angle is great. I like the fact that there are two of them (you can see the lovely markings on the back one), I agree with some cropping (but not too much) and some correction for slight over-exposure. Generally it's a darn nice piccie - keep up the good work!
