Hi Charlotte, this wildlife photo titled "Smile For The Camera" is a very good image caught at just the right moment. Colours appear natural, good focus texture and clarity. Good composition. Well done and thanks for sharing, cheers.

What a sweet baby! This is a great shot. The limited color palette of the background really makes this little guy pop off the page with his stunning markings. I'm so glad he found his mom because he definitely stands out. This shot has great composition, lighting and clarity. You're so blessed to have had this amazing encounter.

This is an outstanding take Charlotte.

Some might complain that it isn't in profile, but they are missing the point of the take - You nailed this one to wall.

The color palette is a little narrow but that's the nature of this environment.

Technical considerations are all at the top of the game.

Good luck... Bob

Charlotte,
A beautiful & emotional shot of the young Zebra foal sampling the air to find the scent of it's mother. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Great to hear it found it's mother.

This baby zebra looks so funny and cute. Yes, she seems to smile, too. Clarity of patterns and colors and you've place her well in this vertical frame. I like the happy ending of the story per artist's notes. An image with a story tell. Wish you luck in this contest.
