Light Silver Award Winner ‘Last Moments’ – Tibor Kercz
Unusual photo, with symmetry in the shapes of the flamingo's neck and the sun.
Besides the wildlife category, the WildArt Photographer of the Year contest has many more categories to choose from. There is still time to get involved if you’d like to take part in the competition, but you’ll have to hurry as their current category "MOTION" closes for entries at the end of September and October sees the last of this year’s categories, "COLOUR."

Elephants are such amazing, smart and are really sentient beings. Check out the YouTube channel "Elephant News". It is about elephants who reside in an elephant rescue and reside park in Thailand that is one of the top refuges for elephants in the world. The conditions that they find their rescue elephants in are cruel and horrific. When a new rescue arrives those out in the near distance come running to great the new arrival in the evaluation pen and reach their trunks out to the new arrival as if to welcome and comfort them. The chanel gives a great deal of insight into these magnificent animals.
All category winners and selected images will be featured in a glorious hardback competition book due for publication in January 2022. With a foreword by Robert Irwin, the book will be a visual treat for all photography and wildlife lovers. With a limited print run of 1,000 copies, each one with its own unique serial number.
The competition is supporting 10 conservation causes–one for each of the monthly categories. For example, David Tipling chose to support the Committee Against Bird Slaughter or CABS as they are commonly known, an organization committed to fighting bird poaching in the Mediterranean region.

I really wish they were required to put a little blurb underneath each photo stating what we are looking at. Would make the photo more enjoyable instead of thinking "that's really awesome but what the hell is it.."
Yeah it sucks to have to know things.
love spiders. they're so amazing
Hate spiders... love their webs. Let me rephrase that. I was bit by a spider as a kid. It was bad so now they are my least favorite critter. However I love webs and love to photograph them early in the morn. If the spider is still there... meh.
A friend was bitten by a spider on her foot--and she has had major problems ever since. It's been six weeks.
Sure you've seen the photos of spiders...on different drugs...spinning webs...crazy
spiders attack only if they are threatened
Correction: animals attack when they FEEL threatened, and kids' movements are unpredictable indeed. They were probably accidentally on each other's way and those were the results. Dear goodness, why do so many people think so 1D, seriously....
Apparently a spider felt threatened by a 3yo splashing around in the tub cause it got me! My aunt was bathing me and caught the spider in an empty medicine bottle to show the doctor.
most spiders are less dangerous than mosquitos
Perhaps. I haven't seen the research. I only know what I experienced. It hurt a LOT more then a mosquito bite and required medical treatment. My experience, my perspective.
So?
Feel threatened. It’s not the same.
What??? Thats simply not true. Spiders are predators. They attack to eat, it’s what spiders do.
you mean spiders feed on humans, come on pal. there are incredibly agile, and fascinate me
Come on pal yourself.
