The Funniest Captures - Wildlife Comedy Awards 2019

In these stressful and uncertain times, it's good to get a little gleeful distraction and something to smile about. Whether you are starting out or a seasoned professional, it’s important to stop and observe nature's candid moments and have a giggle while doing it.

Wildlife photography can oftentimes be a little stiff and take itself far too seriously, so the Comedy Wildlife Photography awards offer a lighter perspective and direction when contemplating the issues that our planet is facing.

I love the affable and subtle way in which they are tackling awareness and I welcome it fondly.
