squirrel!
The picture of the squirrel should not even be allowed in the competition and if no harm is done for the picture, the risk others will be hurt trying to replicate this picture is just to great, in my opinion :(
Oh brother. Apparently you haven’t lived around squirrels. We lived next to a national forest and squirrels were my number one enemy! There is NO chance of trying pose a squirrel. Unless it was domesticated so you can pose them in little outfits then you most likely won’t be able to even touch a squirrel. They bite, can attack and they totally freak out! So please don’t worry.
I think the point is that people will be disturbing nests in an attempt to recreate this photo, and not that people are going to train squirrels to pose…
Must be around 500 “photographers of the year” at his point
How can you possibly choose just one!
How are those chained bears considered “wildlife”? The whole point of wildlife photography is to catch animals in the wild! I’m of course happy to see this evil being exposed, but for me, Mogens Trolles’ photo is something special. There is hope, fear, and imagination in that little monkey’s face; we can all connect to that. Spectacular. Plus, the monkey isn’t behind bars or chained.
They’re so many to choose and most are good! If I look at it from from my Professional eye, I looked at framing, quality of the image, the story, the difficulty of taking these amazing image. I have to give my vote to the snow Bunny by Andy Parkinson as Wildlife Photographer of the Year. His amazing image that story speak about a little animals survival of a winters storm. To be out there in such conditions to capture this moment, perfectly placed & lit, is something I’ve never ever seen in a photograph my 64 years.
I really wish there were explanations or short stories that accompanied the photos. A few I know about but for the rest, I’d like to know more. A spectacular photo by itself tells us little. Please say more.
