One thing that's gratifying about moderating the Fauna Gallery is watching those who have less photographic experience improve over time. In many cases I know photographers are directly benefitting from both posting their images in the NPN galleries and from taking the constructive feedback of others - and it truly shows! My short list for this week's pick includes photographers with different levels of experience, but none have any shortage of talent!
Jorne de Bruin gave us a very memorable image of a Lynx being caressed by sunlight with his simply titled image "Lynx".
But ultimately I chose Richard Peter's very creative rendering of an alligator appropriately called "Alligator Long Exposure" as the Pick of the Week. I chose this image for two reasons. First, it's simply a beautiful image and a joy to look at. Second, to capture this image Richard had to clear some major technical hurdles, and he did it in a very ingenious way. Read his image description to see what I mean...
Congrats to all who added to the strength of the Fauna Gallery this week (which includes ALL who posted images).
Cheers...
Brad

3 repliesI very much liked the compositional strength of Jagdeep Rajput's intimate image entitled "Indian Elephant calf sharing an intimate moment with mother".
