my only issue with him is the fact the he stays fix at f4-5 why ? some of his pics must be out of focus where they didn't have to be..for example in some of his portrait shot.. only one eye of the animal are in focus.!! you can see this specially with the monkey or chimps close up shot. That has made me wonder about all his other shots.. how good do they really look printed at 8 by 10 /11 by 14/16 by 20 let alone 20 by 30? Not too good if he stays stuck at f4-5.
Only the mouth nose or eye (which ever he focused on will be in focus. I hope that he has access to Africa at any time cause I would shoot at atleast portrait at f8 or better to get as much in focus as I could not just an eye!!
But I have to say I like his colors tones and exposer and he does have some AWSOME pictures.
The second thing I didn't really like though it's not major , is his cropping I sometimes feel like some elements of the animal should of been in thos shots.. but I do understand that maybe it wasn't that easy to move around alot to frame, So i'll leave that as a small thing but I did notice it..I'm not a great photographer I've only been shooting 2 something years,but I saw some basics that I learned so I'm pointing them out.
My own pics to be critisized:
