I like the first two a lot - the framing of the hawk in a natural setting is very good and the surroundings lead my eye straight in to focus on the bird. Natural colour and sharp. The closeup fox is a cracker - sharp as a tack on it's eye and a great composition with it looking out of the frame, and good use of DOF. I think I might be tempted to clone out the stalk at the bottom though. I can see the point of the third but the fox look a little lost in all that greenery, which looks a little too green to me.

IanC try flipping that ^ shot horizintally, see if it looks more natural. Your first shot of the fox looking right is brilliant m8.

The fox close up is a cracker. If you could fiddle a crop with some space on the right, it would be even better, but it's a belter anyway. :icon_cool

I wouldn't Ian, that ovehanging branch makes it well nigh impossible. For future reference, if your using the one shot focusing mode, don't forget that once you've pressed the shutter halfway, the focus is locked until you release it and depress it again. A quick recompose to the right at that stage gets you the composition you want. You could also use the focus lock button.

Another alternative with this shot would have been to enable just the left hand focus point (out of the nine).

3rd one of the fox looks oversaturated and a little OOF with a distracting highlight circle at top centre but the other 2 are absolutely superb.
The later post of the otter is a stunner too

EDIT: As I'm a lttle blurry eyed I missed the later crop/edit which is much better!
