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.

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.
