Focused by Leo.wies@

Location: Germany

I often go to the local wildlife park to practice wildlife photography. It is impossible to discover the lynx in the wild in my area; Therefore, I was thrilled that I had the opportunity to see this magnificent animal in the said park. It was snowing and very cold on the day this picture was taken, so the park was almost empty. The lynx’s sharp eyes impressed me.

The area for lynx in this park is limited, but they are very mysterious creatures and do not show themselves daily. I found a place to sit in the empty garden, and after a while, I lay down on the ground with a thick jacket. It took me almost 2 hours to get the attention of the lynxes, and one of them slowly came towards me. The moment I took the photo, I felt like I had made eye contact with this beautiful creature.

This feeling scared me. My intention in recording this photo was to reflect this feeling to more people.

The viewer must imagine that he is making direct eye contact with this beautiful creature.

In this part of my text, I would like to mention all the real wildlife photographers who have recorded many images of these creatures. I have great respect for their time and knowledge in their work, as well as their passion. I think these parks are an excellent opportunity to practice animal photography, but whoever does this should always mention that the photos were taken in a park and not out in the wild. Otherwise, the audience may get the wrong impression of the photographer’s effort and inadvertently compare it to images captured in natural wildlife.

Encounter At Our Campsite by @hi.jewi

Location: Kamchatka, Russia

We spent a few days visiting the Tolbachik volcano during our trip to Kamchatka. After dinner, suddenly, this fox appeared in our camp. He was very calm and curious and had very peaceful and friendly behavior. This animal came, watched us, and went to play in the volcanic ash. It was a surprising, unexpected, and exciting moment that shook my heart. I want to show the beauty of mother nature with these unique patterns, and this peaceful wild fox represents the heartwarming feeling I had at this moment.

All The Shades Of Blue by @makyandmatt

Location: Gili Meno, Indonesia

This dive is a memorable experience! I wanted to show my appreciation and love for the ocean, the beauty of the underwater world, and the importance of protecting our oceans. We had only gone to Gilimano with our camera gear, so we had to rent snorkeling equipment. Our feet were blistered and bleeding, battling severe weather problems, but we couldn’t resist the ocean’s beauty. The water was evident; there were lots of turtles, the light was perfect, and no one was around.

Lioness Pride by freeilli@

Location: Etosha, Namibia

The subject of this collection of pictures is the largest parade of lions that I have seen in my African travels. There were probably 30 members in this group, including a cub, a female lion, and two males. You might think that tracking animals is easy, But it is not. Safari requires a lot of patience and some luck. I was very excited when I saw the lionesses approaching us in a perfect formation. This moment was really like a scene from a movie.

Like more than 5,000 other mammal species, lion packs form a patriarchal society. Female lions are the core of the group; Because they have the task of hunting and raising cubs. If you are on safari, try to find the female lions first; Because the most exciting action happens around them.

Newborn Labradoodle Puppy by Silvija_Collins@

Location: Dublin, Ireland

Our family dog ​​(an Australian Labradoodle) went into labor two days before this photo was taken and gave birth to some cute puppies. These puppies were raised in our kitchen with the constant care of our children and ourselves. We have two small children (2 and 4 years old) who were excited and looking forward to seeing the puppies. They cared for our dog throughout her pregnancy, singing to her and reassuring her that everything would be okay. When the puppies were born, the children were very excited, but the newborn animals were so small that they could not touch them, so my husband placed a sleeping puppy in the palm of his hand and held it close to the girls. Our children sang lullabies to this little animal, and my wife had the puppy for them. This scene looked very peaceful and beautiful.

It was a rainy day, and many pandas did not want to walk. What could I do? It is impossible to force a wild animal to pose! I felt perfect and grateful that I was visiting this place.

A Tower Of Giraffe by _kennyc@

Location: Imire Game Reserve, Zimbabwe

Wildlife photography can be challenging. Wildlife photography is how you observe a spectacular scene, But it’s over when you get your camera ready. The unpredictability of animals makes this a very frustrating yet enriching task. I’m grateful that these giraffes were kind enough to stop long enough to capture this perfect moment. I also grabbed a more attractive composition by placing the tree in the image.

Privilege Witness by @josuozkaritz

Location: Machu Picchu, Peru

I was walking around this unique sight when I found this llama resting peacefully on the grass. In this crowded tourist place, I was lucky to find this beautiful animal in an empty and silent area, and no one interrupted this decisive moment, my connection with nature. Sometimes llamas show aggressive behavior when harassed, But this friend seemed to be waiting for me to immortalize this moment. She posed like a professional model and had no complaints before, during, or after the shoot. When I captured this image, I stood there for a while and thought about this gift of nature.

Highland Cow by above_and_beyond_visuals@

Location: England

Have you ever seen a white mountain cow? It is often not possible to witness an animal with an unusual color, Especially when talking about the breed of mountain cow, which generally has a dark color. It was amazing to watch this cow in the center of the herd with its unique color. The moral of the said photo is that no matter how unusual you or something else looks, you will stand out from the crowd. It is not a bad thing at all. Accept it, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Humpback Whale Breaching by @reneliniger

Location: Mooloolaba, Australia

I go whale watching at least once a year. The whale migration season usually runs from June to October, during which you can watch the whales from the beach or on the ocean in a boat. It’s incredible to watch these gentle giants often going about their business. Of course, sometimes these creatures become interested in getting to know us humans, so they come closer to us than ever. This scene always amazes me.

Friends by superiaia@

Location: Moremi Conservation Area, Botswana

Sometimes we look so much for the beauty in the big things that we forget to see the hidden wonders in the little things. We waited for the lions in this area for several hours; The sun was almost setting, and we just wanted to get some photos of the king of the jungle before it got dark. There were zebras and gazelles near the place where we were waiting, but no sign of lions. At one point, a small bird caught my attention. This creature was sitting on the back of a zebra and was chirping loudly. That’s when I decided to record this moment; The lions never came. Sometimes we look so much for the beauty in the big things that we overlook the hidden wonder in the little things.

Farmers by @jorgebacelar

Location: Murtosa, Portugal

This farmer Silvina is in a frame with her black turkey. The black turkey was brought to Portugal 500 years ago when the Spanish explorers returned from their first trip to Central America. During their discoveries, these people found that the Aztecs had two types of pets: black turkeys and dogs. The Spaniards were amazed by this giant bird. In Europe 500 years ago, such a bird could not be found. Before repatriating the gold, they brought the birds back home by boat, and the predominantly mountainous ecosystem of the Iberian Peninsula provided what the turkeys needed. These birds were easily and quickly transported from Spain to Portugal, where the tradition has survived more than 500 years later.
