Africa

1. I think that these photos are absolutely amazing. They are so appealing to the eye and have such great balance in each photo. The subjects in the photo looked like they are posing but from reading the article, the photographer says that he was just waiting and waiting for the right moment to come up in order to capture these breathtaking photos.

3. I  like this photo because of the affection that is presented between the two lions. I also like this photo because of how the male lions mane looks in the photograph with the editing that has been done. 

4. Balance because there are two subjects balancing out each other. 

5. I think that the photographer used a close up lens to capture the emotion and detail of the animals. 

6. The photographer took these photos to show the world that the plains of Africa were filled with so much more than poor families and poaching. He wanted to show the world the side that the animals were experiencing.  

7. "What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of being—before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us." 

8. "There is something profoundly iconic, mythological even, about the animals of East and southern Africa. There is also something deeply, emotionally stirring and affecting about the plains of Africa—those vast, green rolling plains punctuated by graphically perfect acacia trees under the huge skies."
