Being a good animal photographer takes time.
Before producing images that capture the attention of people, you have to go through several stages. Like mastering the basic functions of your material or knowing, almost intimately, the animals that interest you. Finally, and this is perhaps what is the most delicate to master: develop your own photo style.
Once this process is completed, then yes, you will be able to give emotion to people who are watching your photos.
You guess that there is no great interest in burning the stages. Except to take the risk of discouraging you, for lack of convincing results.
