Wildlife: Honorable Mention 2023 (professional)
Leaning Towers by Abderazak Tissoukai (United Arab Emirates)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Powerful wildlife images are the ones that translate an emotion, which is often the result of the interaction between two or more animals. Luck was on our side when we crossed paths with these two young adult giraffes during their necking practice session. They were playing in a friendly way to avoid hurting each other, as the movement of their long necks can be harmful in real fight situations. When they went a bit too hard, a moment of care and affection almost immediately followed, as if it was their own way of saying "sorry". I felt this one was one of them.
