Share three winning photos of the 2022 Nature TTL Natural Wildlife Photography Contest, animal portrait category, as mentioned earlier, animal portraits are definitely not simple headshots or full-body photos, but pictures that can reflect the state or mood of wild animals at that time, which can be full-body images, or close-ups of faces, or even close-ups of iconic physical features. These three are also very interesting, each is different, the first winner is the photographer Tomasz Szpila in Africa to shoot the portrait of the male lion brother eating, you can see the mighty and full of vigilance, the photographer used a telephoto lens to record the male lion brothers are eating the freshly hunted buffalo, you can see that the protagonist of this portrait is left and right are long-maned male lion head, which is also the reason why you can level the hunting buffalo during the day, because the male lion brothers shot, this also vividly shows the coldness of the steppe overlord killer. The second is a recommended work, photographer Shannon Wild took a pangolin, relatively so relaxed, there are not many photos of pangolins active in the open during the day, which is also a picture that reflects the scene of their living state; The third photo is of photographer Jan Piecha photographing a mother and child of a long-tailed langur monkey in India, but the interesting background is the huge body of an Asian elephant, and it feels like the monkey has a backstage and is bolder. The three photos have their own characteristics, the first is to focus on the face close-up through the telephoto lens, capturing the cold-blooded portrait, the second is to show the state of the animal through the natural behavior of the animal in its ecological environment, and the third is the more popular use of wild animals as a background in recent years, or the way to shoot animal portraits echoing the scenes.
