RVC as someone mentioned you did not just take tight portraits. Well done for seeing and taking shots that most would not.

Yes, that was transparent in both his stated intent and in its realization.

It's not important, but if you were actually responding to me, I think you misinterpreted my points. I meant to acknowledge his not universally portraitizing as a good lesson (one that I think I learned), but to especially applaud his low angles, which I haven't done nearly enough. I think you must have read this sentence as some kind of criticism, which it was not:

"I remember fighting (successfully, I think) the urge to portraitize every animal. But, I will try hard to think more about vertical angle, from your shots."

No criticism meant at all. I think the shots are great. I tend to zoom in and just get tight head shots of animals instead of seeing them in their environment as well.
