Animal photos part 2

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Here's part 2 of my animal photos. Again any CC would be great, and i'd love it if you really told me what you think. I'd like to get them as good as possible. Thanks!

I think the heavy vignetting is too overdone and detract from the images rather then enhancing them, also the boosted saturation and contrast make the animals look less realistic for me.

#1 I like the hand, with the leopard print, and the face you don't have the whole giraffe in frame

#2 makes for a sad image, the wire, the expression of the dingo, it really tells a story

#3 Eye contact good, the poll and second giraffe are a tad distracting in the background

#4 The last image doesn't do much for me, other then its a comical expression.

#1 is a great interaction shot just really dont like the heavy vignetting
#3 is interesting & quirky but once again too much - a square crop and burn a little on the post in the background would be more to my taste
