Love all of these shots. exposure is dead on, AP is nice, contrast and vibrance is to my liking. great job. If I must point out something it would be to place the subject a little further to the right on picture #1, and to use rule of thirds on picture #2.
thanks! I read the article on wildlife photography and it made a lot of sense. I know usually what I want a picture to look like, but it's nice to see it in words, and it made a lot of sense, thinking about it!
