Nature photography is a hard business to master. Animals don't take suggestions or cues, they aren't trained and have no inclination to pose. These photographers have amazing patience, waiting for the best moment to take their shot. The following are examples of that patience paying off! |

'You seem weird, where are you from?' |

'Lunch!' |
Giants of Africa |
The jovial squirrel Monkey |
