Birds

I love photos that create an immediate reaction as soon as you see them! This captivating photo is certainly one of those! This lovely Owl has a piercing stare that goes right though you, which the photographer captured beautifully. The lighting, color and composition are all spot on. Congrats on 3rd place with this great shot!

Baby birds are always so cute, but this Penguin chick is just simply adorable! Wonderful capture of a touching moment between this chick and a parent! This photo showcases one of those moments that all nature photographers love to capture. Congrats on 2nd place, with this wonderful shot!

A wonderful photo of a very distinctive bird! Excellent capture of this parent feeding their young! The composition is fantastic, and the background is beautiful without overpowering the birds. I wonder which one of those babies got the bug? Congrats on 5th place, with this awesome shot!
