I've just visited the website of a well known wildlife photographer 'Andy Rouse' and am in awe at the quality of images he produces. What i noticed initally was his ability to capture his subjects in their natural environment and make the images come to life without the use of (from what i can tell) post processing.
I particularly liked his images of gorillas, something which i imagine to be a difficult subject in such dense jungle. He uses the vivid greens of the foliage to frame the subject and bring the eye to rest where he intends it to while using just enough DOF to allow the backgrounds to be distinguishable yet not destracting.
If i have learned anything from viewing his images it is that a good photo doesn't need heavy processing to be striking. Using what is produced in the camera is enough.
