While a good photographer should always keep the basics in mind, a great shot mostly consists of being at the right place at the right time. This set is dedicated to those photographers who went to the zoo and were patient or lucky enough to capture animals in a beautiful or unique way. They’re the ones who make us stop and think about how we share this earth. The ones who capture an animal’s essence in such a way that words just don’t do the picture justice.
