Here are my two photos to critique (ignoring the second and third snake photos, which are only meant for examples). I like both of them, but I think the black-footed ferret photo is my favorite photo, out of all the photographs I can remember taking. The snake I feel like would have been better photographed from the front, or looking up at it. On the downhill side there was a piece of grass poking into his eye, and I couldn't remove it safely, so that option was out. I did photograph it from the front, but I was in a hurry so my aperture was too small. All but the snake's head was out of focus.
I like the way the ferret is angled. While it doesn't leave much room in front of it, I like seeing the prairie dog hole behind it, it gives the picture some context. While I really like this picture, I'm always looking for ways to improve. I feel like it could be better, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is that makes me feel that way.
