the landscapes are great, very vivid and crispy. love how you played with the colors. the macro on the butterfly is kinda blurry. the latest lion cub that you uploaded (before the crocodile) could be great if you crop it a little from the left. the next lion is cut off like right in the middle. you could have focus on the face of the lion directly coz i think that was what you were trying there. what i don't like with the picture of that cub is that the cutting of his body in half draws more attention than the face of the cub. the fish that has a butterfly wings might look nicer if instead of using a horizontal angle, vertical angle could have great view. here again you cut the tail of the fish by trying to give emphasis on the fins. but i think that it's unnecessary to do so, unless it has more color than the fins. the giraffe you should have step back a little, you cut the subject again. the structures are great! keep it up the big lion, thank god you didn't cut it this time. but you should have applied the rule of thirds here. you might be surprise how wonderful it might have been. love photo is very artistic. i love it! nice work... you cut the rino... and there is that dark thing at the left. over all you just need to work with the animal photos. i know they move around often but you will be able to have great shots if you can anticipate their movements, like what direction they are going. it's very important to avoid cutting them in half. and one thing i think that you should read about rules of compositions. i think that you don't know what is the rule of thirds yet. i am not like the other photographers that are graduates of what ever but i read often about photography and art. and i apply what i read to my works. you can read articles at digital-photography-school.com. they teach you how to compose, lighting, iso, speed and other things in photography. and if you wish to see my work it's roommyt.deviantart.com

I thought your scenes are especially good but your views are too tight. Some of the objects look as if they are uncomfortably tight in the frame. Give the animal or building more room in the frame. Make your pictures more relaxed. I noticed the lion cub was cut off behind his shoulders. Keep working on it, and don't get discouraged. You asked and I responded!
