If you'd like to encourage folks to look at your photos I'd recommend sharing selected photos directly in your post instead of linking to your site. You can find instructions in the post How to Embed an Image in Your Post.

Well, as a fellow Brit, I thought I'd have a shufties.
First, somewhat surprised to find a few pics of (mainly) nags in what appears to be a domestic setting, labelled as 'wildlife'?
I thought the range of tags associated with the pics also seemed somewhat 'ambitious' ... considering the image contents ... eg to include 'gallop' in pic 3's selection, where there are 3 of the critters sedately munching the green stuff ...
As regards the pics ... fairly harsh light and ... if this is a location (your farm?) you're familiar with, then there are surely going to be other opportunities for better light / angle (pov) / background etc than these depict?
I can see how #7 (mare + foal) would appeal to the 'horsey brigade', just because of the content ... but as a pic, with that background ... ?
The link below (imo) provides a pretty fair summing up of what one should be aiming at ...for a half decent 'wildlife' pic.
To paraphrase some advice I saw for one of the main w/life comps ... 'If all your pic shows the viewer is what species it is - go away and try again'
Nice feel good shots. We all come here to learn and posting your shots is how it's done. Lots of good advice in the previous posts from very experienced Dgrinners! We will be looking for more from you!
