Nice, I really love number 2!

2 and 7 do it for me. 2 because of it's simplicity and the wobbly reflection, and 7 just love that deep blue

Looks like a great start! You're certainly getting into some good close positions and getting clear sharp shots (where the scenery allows you to). Shots 3 and 2 would likely benefit from a lower angle of view - if possible looking at eye level to the animals eye or looking up to them is ideal since when you look "down" on a subject its a more normal view for our eyes on most animals so its "something we've seen before". Getting eye level or lower presents a new angle and makes for a more interesting choice most of the time (though of course like most guide lines this is not set in stone).

Keep at it and have a look at the works of other wildlife photographers - take inspiration from how they've composed and captured their photos and see how you go as you develop your own style.

Thank you very much. I will definitely take all the advice I can get. Much appreciated.

Nice images!!! I would much rather see them shot with a camera & a nice 16x20 pic mounted on the wall.

Thank you!

I like the pictures but I would love to hunt them too!

not to derail the thread; but if you want to hunt consider looking into hunting invasive alien species or aiding controlled overpopulation animal culls. That way you can combine a desire to hunt whilst working to preserve the ecosystem (or undo damage caused by other people - such as the introduction of alien species)

Sorry to further derail it, but I enjoy hunting feral hogs.
