Brilliant set of critters Andy. Really like 2 and 3 but all are great.

Good set! All good. #1, #4 and #6 appealed to me most of all (especially #1 and #6, both of which I like a lot).

FWIW I'm not too bothered about centrality. In fact, I'd put it a bit stronger than that - Taking the backgrounds into account, I really like the composition of #1 and #4 just like they are and doubt they would be improved (to my eye) by decentring the subjects any more. I might be inclined to play with the framing of #6, pulling in the sides and top a bit (fractionally more off the right than the left), but that would leave it just as (or even more) central, which I think works fine.

Arguably #1 isn't central anyway.

Actually, now I look at it, I might make #2 even more central (and even taller/thinner than it is now).

I might take a slight amount off the left in #3 and the right in #5, #7 and #8, but such a small amount that I doubt anyone would notice a difference (except perhaps with #3).

Nice additions!

I think #3 would benefit hugely from having its Exposure (in Lightroom talk) increased by about a stop, and #6 (less dramatic benefit, but still worthwhile IMO) by about half a stop.

Very good set Andy.
Some more attention on the PP could lift them all to the same level

What a set... try not too crop too much though as lots of detail is getting lost. Also avoid chopping limbs if possible #5.

#3/4 are excellent with #3 being my personal fav

Thanks Bryn, hmm, i didn't notice the chopped limb. Looking at the original most is behind that stalk but its foot is still there. Certainly a bit quick with the chop there. Composition seems to be a problem for me as i aim for the subject i suppose. My wife says i would paint the whole house white as i don't have an eye for colour. Trying hard though. Thanks for the comments.
