Welcome to the forum, Ronald and thanks for sheering your pictures with us. Good first tries shooting with manual mode! All your images are well exposed exempt #3. It is overexposed, since you can’t see details anymore in a white feathers. 

I don’t want to appear stupid, but what is the name of the animal on the first pictures. It is so cute! I would have it as a pet, lol

Thanks a lot Oksana, it’s great to be a part of this since I’ve enjoyed your lessons already for quite some time now! And to hear from a pro like yourselve that you liked my pictures means a lot to me About the overexposed duck… I think she just hypnotized me with these blue eyes, because I forgot all about the rest of the duck! And about the other animal, its called a Capivara, looks somehow like a beaver, but a lot bigger and heavier. At the end I was just standing in the middle of this group of about 20 animals, a little scared though, because I’m not sure if they can get agressive. I loved the shoot though! Great models for a beginner like myself

Hugs from Brazil!

Oksana…  I think his name is George. Ronald…  Let me add my welcome.  Lately we seem to have a number of new posters and that is wonderful. Nice set of photos.  I particularly like the fifth.  Exposure, focus, bokeh, tonal qualities and composition are all good.   I’m not minding the stick behind the bird as somehow, in this case, I think it adds interest rather than being a distraction.I’d straighten the last image as the horse (I really don’t think it’s a burro) looks about to topple over.

Thanks for the welcome and the comments! I think it’s what we call a Mula, a mixture of a horse and a donkey. They are used a lot here, because the are stronger, more stabile and better climbers. You’re right, it’s kind of leaning over because of the inclination of that part of the road I even straightened it a little, but didn’t want to overdo it…

Roland, you will learn soon that we are having a “strait pictures police” here . Mondrake doesn’t like when horizon in cricket, lol. 

Ha, ha, I will try to remember to stay straight
