I was just looking the top 25 wildlife photos before and now these, and to my mind and eye, all have the same fault, and that is they have all been over-enhanced and sharpened to a degree that is unnatural. The clarity is almost at the microscopic level, the coloues so vivid in every part of the composition .Where is the subtle shading of colour and shadows that eyes see and give us the feeling that we are there at that scene and at that time of day. The photos are mostly like the old movies where if a scenic was shot at night in what is supposed to be complete darkness the actors would have powerful light shining across them and lit up like Christmas trees. Over enhancing is actually no different to using AI. In nearly every photo the software has put white edging on the subjects to mock light coming from the side to make the subject stand out, no different to what an artist does .

I suppose we should be grateful for the invention of the telephoto lens, but I briefly thought, "Oh, are you sure you want to be that close?"

The sort of photo that you have to wait hours for the animal to be in position. It's like a still from a beautiful movie.

There was a small farm with a few pet peacocks 2-3 miles away from my childhood home. On nights with no wind or very light breeze you could hear the peacocks sing all the way over at our place. Very loud but beautiful

Makes me think of Michael Jackson's song, "It don't matter if you're black or white..." 🎶 How about both?

S-shaped. It means the snake is going to strike. I hope whatever it struck wasn't human.

Wow, how did this man find the opportunities to take so many different pictures of so many different animals?

Every photo a keeper. He must walk very quietly and sit very patiently to have gotten all of these photographs. Kudos, camera man!
