I like Rolf Hickers Cheetah photo because he has used the art of photography to express the cheetahs beauty and viciousness in a excellent, stunning and amazing way. I found, the way he photographed the cheetah growling was mind blowing.
I also like Steve Blooms photography, because the way he uses his camera is out of this world and un describable.
My favorite picture is the eagle. I think that the colours are striking and that the look in it's eyes is awesome and incredible at the same time. I really like it's beak because it's grey and everything around is almost the same colour and the eyes stand out unimaginably well. Francois
My favourite picture is the turtle because it's doesn't actually show the colours it looks like the shadow of the turtle which is really cool.
A great photographer is Rolf Hicker because on his website there are some outstanding pictures. He doesn't just do animals he does cities,water,flowers and the ocean.
My favourite photo is the pig because it has lots of detail and looks funny.I also think it would be a fantastic picture to paint,it would take long time to paint because of the wrinkles on it but it would be quality work.I think it is quite a fat pig but it is a great photo.
I saw a website about wildlife photographers and I have a couple photos I like from them. The wildlife photographers that I liked are called Danny Laredo and Roger Plant.I liked Danny Laredo's photo because it was a photo of a owl family on a mountain and it looked like a very good photo.I liked Roger Plants photo because it was a puffin landing from flying and it had great detail of the wings which were flapping in the air.
My favourite picture is the one with the Turtle swimming in the beautiful sun lit water because I love turtles and the water. I like all the photos but the turtle stands out and its nice because there is a mix between abstract and then all of the animal. The famous wildlife photographer has to be David Attenborough. FRom Felix
My favourite photo is the one of the turtle because i think it is stunning how it shows a silhouette of it under the sunlight. I searched the internet for some names of famous wildlife photographers but unfortunately I couldn't find any.
i like the whales one the best because it was a one in a million chance to find the oputunity to get the picture with three whales in the same place out of the water my favourite wildlife photographer is steve winter and also won photographer of the year in sydney
I think the turtle picture is the best because it would be really rare to get a turtle to line up exactly with the sun. I found two famous wildlife photographers and their names are Manfred Danegger and Karman Balàzs.I like their photographs because they have good graphics and can take pictures of quick moving animals.
My favorite photo is the whales fin with the sunset in the background.I like this photo because not only did they get a perfect and beautyfull sunset but also a stuning shot of the whale using its blow hole.Gordan Buchanan is a BBC photagrapher who has recently made a three part documentry on the life of black bares in North America.The photography was stuning.
i like the whales jumping up into the air. i like it because there is one mother and it looks like she is teaching the smaller whales what they are supposed to do. the background is also very nice. you have the ocean and rocky cliff in the distance. here are some more photographers.Beverly Joubert,Steve Parish.
i like the three whales jumping up into the air. it looks like the mother (the big one) is showing the smaller whales what to do. i also like the background: the water is so calm and the cliffs in the distance are very rocky. here are some more famous photographers.Beverly Joubert and Steve Parish
My favourite photo is defenitely the one of the stingray because of all the enchanting colours. some more wildlife photographers are Iain S Byrne Beverly Joubert Steve Parish
I like the picture with the eye, it is beautiful because of the lustrous bright shade of yellow. It is mysterious as you can't tell what animal the eye belongs to. The evil-looking eye is slitty and covered in goo.
My Favourite Photo is the picture of the horse because its such an amazing photo with a very different point of view .On the internet I found a Photographer called John Daniels i like his work because it is vary of different animal some domestic and wild animals aswell. Here is a link to his website.....http://www.john-daniels.co.uk/
I find the picture of the owl catchy because you can see all of the details perfectly. It is as if it is right in front of you and you can actually touch it. The eyes are glaring at you no matter what position you are in. They make you feel as if you are being hypnotized.The deep yellow of the eyes add so much intensity to the picture.
I know 2 photographers who take photos of horses in the wild.They are called Yva Momatiuk and John Eastcott.Their gorgeous photos are often featured in National Geographic magazines.
My favourite image is the husky or the turtle because the turtle is amazing how the photographer has taken the photo from underneath it and the sunlight behind the turtle really brings the shape out. I like the husky because it’s an amazing close up of its face and its adorable. One of my favourite photographers is Steve winter, I was looking on national geographic and he gets such amazing close ups of animals.
Horses are one of my favourite animals, it shows especially in this photograph, that the animal is full of thoughts and emotions. I like the clear sharp eye framed by the long soft eye lashes, in contrast with the whispy soft mane.
The image that I enjoyed most was the turtle. The reasons are I have always liked these animals, I have seen them laying eggs and also found a turtle shell washed up on the beach when I lived in Oman. I also like the picture as you can see the sun shining through the glistening sea onto the turtle showing a clear outline of the shape. The colour difference from light to dark is exquisite. It makes you feel that the photographer must've been very deep in the water to get the wonderful photo. I found an animal photgrapher called Rolf Hicker. He is very good at nature, wildlife and travel photos. He travels to places like Africa, Europe, New Zealand, USA, Alaska and Canada. He spends around 8 months a year travelling the world. He was born and raised in Bavaria, Germany and moved to Canada in 2003. His photographs are usually published in National Geographic and Readers Digest.
my favourite picture is the picture with the eagle because i think the colours are really bright and strongs like the eyes i think it looks amazing and also because the eagle looks really serious and it very scary

I really like the picture of the turtle swimming deep in the ocean above me like I was in the sea with it. It felt like I was a starfish lying on the cold sandy surface of the sea bed. I love National Geographic photographer there are so many to name. I would love to do this job to travel around the world to see animals in there natural habitat.
My favorite photo is the stingray one because the photogragher captures the sunlight well. I found a grat photogragher called James Silverthorne, he has some superb photos on bears and birds and all other animals! heres the web adress: http://www.jamessilverthorne.com/#/portfolios/mammals/12

I really like these photos. It's amazing how people can possibly get such mind blowing photographs like these!
I especially liked the one of the turtle. It's great how the photographer got underneath the turtle and the background of the sun behind is brilliant.
