A little humor never killled nobody, it gives only benefits! Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards sponsored by Born Free Foundation was over on September 13. The contestants submitted to the jury unique shots of wildlife capable of making you feel amused. Such shots are a pure professionalism, a good reaction of the photographer plus a random coincidence, but one thing unites them all: the authors and organizers of the contest love nature and are eager to attract attention of the audience to its problems.
