Since I seriously started Wildlife photography about 6 years ago, I have been assimilating a lot of information, skillsets, and hopefully valuable knowledge, with significant help of the great gurus, on this platform and elsewhere. However with the COVID lockdown, while my photography trips have been significantly reduced, it gave me time to improve my processing abilities, and also explore some other art styles which may not be everyone's cup of tea, such monotones, high key, low key and the obscure.
Presently here are a bunch of images that I feel evoke much stronger emotions than if presented in the traditional way
As always thanks for your C&C, guidance and support and I hope you like these images , some that may have been presented in this form or other forms.
It has been a pleasure sharing with you the past 6 years and watching you grow as a photographer and artist. I see this is a long post so I'm going to only comment on a few.
1 is a super high key image
3 for me could use better whites
7 brave of you to show a back yet it's a stunning one
11 took a moment, works well. Art Wolf has a whole series of hiding animals
12 the touch of color is great
16 super abstract
18 the contrast of the simple environment to the complexity of the zebras is super
It was a delight to view this collection KD. Possibly your best talent is choosing the correct people to learn from and then keeping an open mind when you receive critique.
Thanks Louie
Appreciate your viewing and commenting

Very creative work, excellent job with all of them. I'd say time well spent and to point out one image that I find most appealing is #6 the Bison.
I absolutely adore the minimalist high key shots. They are the ones that appear the most natural, as if foggy morning. Extraordinarily beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Well KD you've been busy! I agree there are perhaps too many shots for one post, but certainly enjoyed seeing them. My favorite was the bison, but also #1 and #4 high key shots, #10 was an interesting B&W conversion, and #17 a very nice portrait.

thanks a lot for all these years of guidance and support, Morris. It is always fun shooting with you. Appreciate your viewing and commenting
Bravo, KD! Outstanding work. There are a few that particularly stand out. The first image is pitch perfect, as are the images of the bison and the elephants.
Nice batch. My only critique would be to watch for the crooked horizons, as in #9 and #15. I have made it the very first thing to look for and correct in my work-flow.

Very nice and interesting set KD. My favorites are 2, 7, 11,12, 16 and 18.
It is nice to see something presented a bit differently.
Might I suggest not posting so many at one time
Birdie
thanks so much Birdie for your constant support and being one of my influences. And yes I do agree that 20 pics are too many, however it difficult to come down from the 40+ pics that I used to post, , but will certainly try.
