Week 262: Animal Faces
Our theme this week is Animal Faces, and we’d love to see how you can photograph the faces of wildlife found in your local area. Every face tells a story, and wildlife portraits are a highly effective method of creating a connection with your viewer. Perhaps you will decide to fill the frame with the face of one of your favoruite wildlife species, or capture the defining profile of an animal that you spot in your garden. Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for capturing new and interesting portraits of animal faces are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring shots you can create.
