Fun series...
I really enjoyed some of your "alternative" compositions
Thanks. We are at a point now where the world is saturated with top-shelf images of....well, everything imaginable, so I usually try to capture something a little different. It's not always possible though, so many are standard compositions.

I agree with you completely... back in the 80's &90's so few people had the skill and discipline to make pictures like these with slide film. As a result, any properly exposed picture of an (insert wild animal here ---> ) with a pleasing composition was considered unique and publishable... While I love the capabilities of modern autofocus and digital dynamic range, I would be a liar if I did not feel a bit nostalgic about the times when skill and knowledge about behavior, emulsions, and light were essential for producing consistently outstanding images of nature.
I agree with others: the Snowy really stands out. So does the Great Grey. They remind me of really good, artistic portraits of humans. I'd be curious what your shooting with and your settings. Can you post technical info for the photos?

I've used various bodies & lenses, but am presently using a Canon 5DIV, 7DII, and Canon 500 f/4 II, Canon 100-400 II (and 1.4 III & 2X III extenders). I am eager to see a new 7DIII.
