Susan .... I'm in love with wildlife and spend a lot of time looking at pictures, ... these are outstanding. Do you have an instagram account??? I'd love to follow you.

I really like the cool tone of this whole photograph. You're very talented! I probably would have moved up just a tad higher to point down at the bird, giving her (or him) a little bit of a demure look. That's not a critique, though, just a thought because you said you're new at this. I do love what you've done, as well!
This is so stunning! The soft colors almost make it look like painting, I love it!!
Stunning! The soft focus of the blue + white background really make the bird stand out. (if you decide to make calendars with these pix, I'd like one!)
can't believe how beautiful these are and I usually hate nature photo's/art. Amazing work!
Sorry but their not fake :)

Thank you all for taking the time to like my photo's. I really appreciate your comments.
This photo shows the habit I love most about squirrels! They curl their little front paws and hold them close to their body. (This is for when its cold, they keep their toes warm up against their body)
Awwww these are all so beautiful and adorable! How you get these shots I have no idea, but I do know that these are absolutely stunning!
Amateur photographer????? These pics are better then a lot of professionals!!! Love them
Charlie likes to sit on Fred's head while he washes his hands. Fred normally doesn't mind but today, Charlie had a bad batch of nuts...
This is an amazing shot! I have found it really hard to get good photos of hummingbirds!
Chester sits very still as he suspects that he is a piñata full of seeds.
Ohmygoodness! He is totally cute and I want to pinch his little cheeks!!!
I think that you have an awesome career ahead of you young lady! You have a great eye for beauty and composition. Good Job =)
Hi Susan. Just here to give a thumbs up, loved your pictures! :) keep posting ;)
These are beautiful :) May I ask if you use photoshop and what camera? (just because I too am an amateur but don't want to use photoshop because it looks tricky ha ha!)
Thank you Tess. I don't use photoshop except to do minor details like contrast and things.

This is why you can´t be "professional" in anything artistic, the passion will simply be there, animals are always cute but the professional photos of animals tend to be a bit to photogenic and almost like objects, it removes the quirky out of the animal, most of these photos have kept the little weird things that animals do that makes the photos interesting.
Nikon d7100 most of the time a 300mm lens

Thank you so much. Happy you enjoy them.

Amateur?? These photos are sick! You must have a really good camera. Some of them are a bit blurry but the closeness you got to the animals is amazing!
Thank you. I think they are blurry because of the pixels this site request. Normally they are 700 x 700

Maybe unpaid professional would be more accurate. Good stuff. Good luck.
Please share more! Do you have any photos of reptiles, horses, cats and dogs?
Fantastic photos! Please make a calendar for next year - I'd buy it!
Hi Susan! That is something I am itching to do! Those pictures are amazing! I love taking pictures of animals and nature. I am a very creative person and I have a lot of creative ideas I want to do, but I can only do them one at a time, hehe. More power to you! 😊
