Life's Little Surprises

Move over - I'm coming!!! What a wonderful moment captured here. You might expect an animal in a safari park, or similar, to approach a vehicle in this way, but certainly not while driving around the Scottish Highlands! I am so glad that you've entered the image of this unexpected encounter in this contest - it is a worthy winner.

What a wonderful capture - and so relatable. The hose-opening is such a perfect size for a little mouse, and you captured it at just the right moment. By also showing the name of the hoover, it almost looks like a house with the mouses name on! Brilliant, thank you.

This could well be a still from a David Attenborough documentary, when every viewer goes 'aahh'. Thank you for entering this heartwarming image into the contest. The photo really benefits from showing just the two penguins, even though they were likely to have been part of a large colony. This enhances the intimacy of the situation greatly.

A fairytale image and I'm so grateful that you've entered it into the contest. The composition and lighting is perfect. Who says that animals don't have any feelings?! Most people wouldn't have noticed this beautiful interaction - but a photographer does and captures it. That's the big difference - seeing the little things and capturing them.

A fox with a petrolhead mind? Or was it the material of the cover that made the difference in deciding on the location? Such a phantastic capture, urban animals are a growing reality and often create real problems for their human environment. Well done for getting the lighting so effective.
