Mysterious Relationship in Nara Park

A photo capturing a deer and a crow in Nara Park. It makes us imagine the conversations of creatures living in the same place that we cannot hear even if we listen closely. They seem a bit awkward, don't they?

A photo of a heron by the water. The heron's robust figure is accentuated by the background water splashes. Perhaps due to evolution to survive in the Earth's environment, its expression seems somewhat cunning.

A photo of a frog climbing a leaf. It seems to have a sense of accomplishment for reaching the top with its small body, or perhaps it's taking a break after finding a nice view. Imagining the perspective of each creature might change the way we hold the camera.

Howl
📷 Sony | SLT-A58
cizucu Editorial Team
A photo of a howling fox. It beautifully captures a scene like a page from a picture book. It truly depicts the natural coexistence of animals, capturing their true essence. One wonders what the fox's howl sounds like... it sparks the imagination.
In Conclusion
How was it?
This was a wonderful contest that allowed us to see many aspects of the lives of animals sharing the earth with us. By slightly lowering or raising the angle of the camera, you might be able to imagine someone else's perspective while taking photos. It seems we have rediscovered the fun of cameras and photography.
cizucu has a circle called 'Beauty of Animals' that explores the beauty of animals. Please join us.
See you at the next contest!
