Incredible Wildlife Photography

Ever have one of those moments when you think to yourself, “Boy, I wish I had my camera?!” Well, you can enjoy the good fortune of the photographers who were not empty handed when they shot these amazing animal pictures.
These high-speed images are treasures that tell stories we rarely get to see – let alone capture – in stunning detail. Incredible wildlife photography like this takes a steady hand and sharp eye. And perhaps just a bit of luck!
Bringing home the bugs....
If you oohed and ahhed over the first couple of pictures, you might have to prepare yourself for the next image…. open wide!
All in one bite?
The best wildlife photography is often expressed through the unexpected. Like these giraffe kisses for a squirrel!
Hey! How well do I know you?
What is more adorable than a curious monkey – particularly one that wonders what all the photography fuss is about?
Among cute animal photographs, you’ve gotta agree… this one tops the charts!
Ready for my close-up!
Looks like a Chorus Line is coming to a desert near you! These foxes appear to be warming up with some synchronized stretching and yawning. All together now….

This gazelle is probably thinking that grooming is for the birds!
A little more to the left, please
Stunning pictures of animals are often captured in high-speed. You can practically smell the dirt and feel dust in your eyes when you consider this image of two greyhounds closing in on their target.
Who would believe that a rhinoceros could be so precious? Baby animals, no matter their species, make wonderful photography subjects. Especially when a mother’s love is so obvious.

You thought those greyhounds above looked fast? I’m not sure this mouse will get away with the stolen kitty kibble! And just check out the look on the cat’s face. Can you say intent?
The expressions say it all
This trio of owls in a Pacific Northwest forest is the epitome of wild beauty. Just imagine coming upon this scene while walking through the woods.

Yikes! Another example of perfect photographer timing. What a lucky killer whale…. fast food!
Penguin's final dive!
Kung-fu squirrel executes a perfect split between the birches!
Master squirrel
I’m not sure if this last image was photoshopped or not (my guess is “yes”). Either way, the artistry of this photograph is incredible. Here’s your chance to use the words “frog” and “beautiful” in the same sentence…

Wonderful collection of images. I dont mind if they been photoshoped, most images are to some degree.
incredible!!!:)) thank you
Incredible art work. like this very much
Synchronized Stretching:
True once in a lifetime shot.
Congratulations!
Picture which gives some special emotions.
Incredible HD pictures.
Thank u.
fantastic
Sweet:) The three foxes are all the same one though..
some of these are shopped
best one
nice photo & fantastic
I love these photos, especially the squirrel! Shame though that its hard to tell when they are true photos though. The synchronised stretching it duplicated. You can see exact markings on each animal are the same on its body, and some areas of the rocks around its feet. Must have been a continuous photo and just merged them together after. Would understand if photographers said they manipulated it, but its a shame to make people believe it actually is true.
amazinggg….
really amazingg.. loved it..
Interesting manipulations.. you should read some of George Lepps books, then you can put away photoshop.. still nice art.
Wonderful photos. I do prefer “real” photos, but these are still fun to look at.
i agree with bella. most of these (foxes, giraffe, snake&bird, whale) are merged photographs, which is fine for those who like that kind of art. However, I think it’s safe to say that nobody likes being “deceived” by captions.
Pretty incredible…wonderful to look at! I love the imaginative ways some of these were put together…lots of fun!!
the three foxes are not the same picture.
There are some good shots, though as others have pointed out many of these are clearly merged. The snake one, for instance… the lighting is completely off on the bird, not to mention that this is a tropical snake depicted as about to eat a european robin, which wouldn’t be anywhere near its habitat. Merged photos can be a great art form in themselves, but you should at least not try to pretend that they’re real.
Wow!
Awsum
Wow, amazing images, thanks for sharing!
Es un mundo maravilloso .Los instantes captados de este universo animal;nos hace reflexionar de que ellos no solo actúan por instinto.Si no que se podría traslucir sentimientos.Apoyado en esas ángulos captados por la cámara.Felicitaciones para los fotógrafos.Al talento especial para descubrir esos instantes y hacerlos realidad con la cámara.

Nice use of photoshop
Omg wonderful images buddy, m lovin’ it
Wonderful stuff. Really enjoyed these photos. Thanks
interesting and perfect shots!:D hope ill be able to capture animals moments such as those in the coming days..amazing!:D
I’m sorry but the ‘Synchronized stretching’ if you look at the markings on the fir you can see is the same animal taken in burst mode – and some of the others are dubious – the Giraffe’s tounge is blurred but the squirrel’s head is not?!
Nature is beautiful enough without the need to be ‘shopped’ and faked.
Awesome set !!!
