2024 Year in Review

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

I love nature photography of most genres. In the past I’ve focused on small scenes and various nature images. I do take larger landscape images on occasion as well. In the last few years I’ve been focusing on my wildlife photography. While I’m out looking for wildlife, I like to pick out small scenes with my telephoto (200-600) lens. I’ve included both types of images in my 2024 showcase.

Specific Feedback

Any feedback welcome

Technical Details

The majority of the images were taken handheld with a 200-600 telephoto lens on full frame.

These are lovely. I particularly like the first three, but that Martin and the Beaver are cool too! Beautiful collection.

Bryan, this is an excellent collection. I especially like the flowing stream with it’s stars and that Raven with it’s mustache…sure do wonder what it was up to. You clearly got the Beaver fresh out of the water and letting the snow go pure white shows that off well.

A collection to be proud of! All are wonderful but the milkweed is my favorite --so well done! Here’s to the next excellent year!

Very nice, Bryan. I particularly like the first one (I trust those are sparkles in the snow and not hot pixels like I get on my R5 images in dark conditions), and the snowy-beaked raven.

All of these are Excellent, Bryan. The first one is completely stunning, and I love the Raven and Pine Marten images. You had a very good year.

What a great set of images, with a lot of variation regarding subject matter. I like a lot the mood you have captured in your landscape images as well as the specific personality of the different animal species.

My favorites are No. 4 and 9.

A set of images to be proud of!

Such a great collection Bryan; it was a productive year for you. Thanks for sharing it with us! Happy Holidays!

Looks like a great year behind the viewfinder. Such personality in the wildlife shots, but I am especially green with envy over your Pine Marten.
