Fauna Gallery frequently offers a broad range of captures in terms of style and composition. Some images are dramatic moments featuring exotic subjects. Others are way more subtle examples of a photographer’s art. It was my turn to be conflicted in narrowing the field for the weekly pick. It is a shame to have to highlight only these few postings, so I urge you to revisit Fauna and enjoy some impressive variety.
Bill Meikle’s posting of Flying Foxes is huge on the “wow” factor! I challenge you to view this one without a smile and some admiration for Bill’s timing of the shutter click.
Onno de Rover’s Study In Terra provides us with a dense, emotionally intense composition. This close-up view is full of strong angles and secondary points of interest. It is a good example of Onno’s penchant for sharing graphically strong wildlife images.
David Bostedo reminds us with Starring that great photography is first and foremost always about light. A pure and simple composition is created as the patterns of refracted light from the water’s surface play across a starfish on a sandy background…
Neil Rossmiller posted more than one strong capture this week, but the one that held my attention the most was a Black and White African animalscape with a detail rich composition. Wildebeest is worthy of some study and Neil offers an alternate pano presentation.
There were a number of other very good images that could have been listed as important highlights! Look for the work of Ajit, Sandy, Kiran, Chetan, and others. Floris even dropped by with a jewel! Again, take a look.
And finally, the choice for Fauna Gallery Pick of the Week goes to Guy Rogers for Common Lizard . Guy demonstrates a high degree of technical mastery and art in this posting…in detail, in color, in background and foreground control and especially in a pleasing composition of a difficult to pose subject!
Thanks to all the talented photographers who participated by posting their images and commenting on the work of others.
