Editor’s Review:
“Terrific lighting. I am a great fan of silhouettes, and this one is close to qualifying as such, but what I really enjoy about this image is how the stripes of the zebra’s skin are visible through the shadow of the backlighting. The color sets the tone for a wonderful composition. If the zebra was moving forward, I would have preferred a shot without the brush on the left side of the frame, but overall, a great shot.”

Editor’s Review:
“What I enjoy most about this photo is the lighting and clarity of focus. The white outline of the head plumage, the water droplet on the bill, and the deep red color of the eye all blend together to make this a very pleasing image.” — Steve Freligh

Editor’s Review:
“Kingfisher shots are always full of action. This shot offers a nice lighting on the bill, particularly on the upper mandible, while highlighting the spectacular blue and reddish-brown plumage.” — Steve Freligh

- Notes From the Field: “Two Grey Seals playing around in the sea as the sun was setting at Donna Nook/UK, hope you like them.”— Craig Jones
Editor’s Review:
“Great action shot – like two young kids playing in the surf. The sharpness of focus in the approaching wave and the seals is impressive. I have never seen this behavior with one seal’s flippers wrapped around the other. The lighting is also very nice. What a wonderful, playful moment at sea.” — Steve Freligh

- Notes From the Field: “The last of my Zion shots is a return to the Subway. I tried to go for a different comp and wanted to include the mini waterfalls entering the swirl pools.”— Justin Reznick
Editor’s Review:
“This is a magical blend of light, color, composition, and exposure. I always enjoy an image that allows me to find new areas of interest every time I take another look.”
