Animals Carrying or Holding Something

At first glance you don't necessarily see that it's a rodent in the beak of the owl. The colour match is perfect. The beauty of the owl is shown off so well at this shot, he looks so calm and majestic, even with his kill in the beak. Thank you so much for entering this image.

Wow, what a great shot! Perfectly balanced macro photography. I just wonder how the ant can walk on such uneven, sloping ground with this large piece of leaf constricting her view!! Nature is so marvellous, which you have captured in such fine detail.

Nobody can stop that squirrel!!! The energy that is bursting out from this image is amazing. It's a real masterpiece, caught at the absolutely correct fraction of a second - great skill!. Well done. I know that they can run ever so fast - and still keep hold of the nut in their mouth!

I would say, that's a bird with a big personality! Your image is such a wonderful composition, very close and clear, yet also non-intrusive. The markings are just so wonderful. I like that the background is blurred, so that the eye can totally focus on the gannet's head. Congratulations on being my winner.

What a glorious image. I'm so grateful that you entered it into the contest. This is nature at its best. I love the light especially in this beautiful composition and the harmonious colours. A precious moment so wonderfully captured in this heart-warming image.
