I really like the first two. The focus seems a little off on the first bird though it may just be my poor eyes. Nicely done.

There are some lovely images in this series. I suspect the slower shutterspeed might be the cause of the slight blur in a couple. But very well done.

Yes Dice, the more shutter speed goes slower, the more off focus areas increase due to the dept of field. I had to go slow shutter speeds due to the lightning circumstances and flash utilisation and these lovely animals are difficult models that do not stand for any second without moving and cheating my AF center. Thanks for remarks...

Hi Clif..! Thanks for compliments..

I must admit this is not a squirrel but it's a MONGOOSE... Yellow MONGOOSE

Several of these are really striking- the lion, the baboon, and the mongoose. The lioness' pose has tension - she looks very much like a cat out hunting.

The lion shot is just stunning. Frame it.
