Some "fine art" wildlife photos

Really like number 4. Striking image.

I’d agree 4 is the only one I think is interesting, the others are all a step too far for my taste.

Thanks - it does say "fine art" in the topic

love that mongoose image

/edit, when i saw #4 the first thing that popped into my head was YWP, the mongoose says YWP, kind of assumed the others were there also?

Excellent images

I really like them, especially number 4 as others have said. Were these edited in PS? How long does it take to edit an image like this? Good work.

More photos added - and my Mum & Dad's new Puppy 'Inky'

Thanks for the comments guys. It's a style I'm enjoying very much. Photos are all edited in Lightroom. Depending on how much needs doing the photos generally take around half an hour in PP, sometimes a bit longer.

Yes most of these were taken at YWP. The Mongoose one was as well.

Great images, especially 4. Image 3 looks a bit over-cooked though imo.
