Powerfully beautiful, magnificiently stunning, thanks to ALL whose dedication make it possible for the rest of us to see, Thanks be to God, The Master Creator for this world and everything in it - to be enjoyed and thrilled by the shear magnitude and yet still not see the total.

[@susie154]

Absolutely stunning photographs! Also...nature's beauty for Almighty God to enjoy, for His Glory, for us to praise!

[@MrColin0202]

Stunning. All this beauty going on while people are just going about their business in other parts of the world. A magical world indeed.

[@zeeshanasghar6329]

These pictures are breathtakingly beautiful 😯 Makes me sad and to say wow at the same time 😣

[@kariossyr6018]

Absolutely Awesome... Professional in every mean. Not just how they wait for the moment, but the technical settings are in best. How focus and exposure could be so great on such fast moving objects!!

[@markferrell55]

Speechless , what an amazing group of split second timing captures, awesome job to all the photographers

[@pwrinklejohnson9782]

I’m glad I lived while these creatures and nature was out there for me to see. Generations from now(after we’ve killed/destroyed it all) will only have videos like this to see it.

[@mmediaimage]

Wow wonderful work of creativity & art thanks for sharing keep up good work Mother Nature loves you all.

[@deena1738]

Great.... just wounder about the dedication and patience of photographers..YES! Science is the brain. But photography is the heart...without a proof like photo,it is hardly to believe even in science...

[@donnadees7031]

thank you for your artistry. love natural animals.

[@lidia6052]

I reflect on the fact that it would be nice if hunters realized how much more stimulating it is to shoot with a photo-camera.

[@susie154]

Well said

[@mtnmaniac8406]

Well spoken! Hunters='Egotistics', sadly....

[@arnaud78]

[@jfphotography69]

What creator are you talking about, if you mean evolution then yes, no such thing as a creator.

@@piahansen656 you did not go anywhere, get to grips with reality.there has been numerous stories like yours, I suggest you go get yourself educated on the brain and how it works.

[@piahansen656]

@@jfphotography69 PS, I was nursing for years when I was younger, and I HAVE looked into the brain and the various theories about it...If it had been a one off, all those years ago,perhaps ( not likely though) someone could have convinced me otherwise, but that wasn't what happened either...anyway, as I said, I can't do a thing to change yours or anyone else minds or beliefs...Each of us has to find our own way...Mind you, I absolutely detest religions !..They are certainly NOT truthful

Now I know why I sold my camera - such stunning work & dedication I could never achieve.

Hay una larga y dura lucha para preservar todos estos ecosistemas ... espero en Dios q las futuras generaciones puedan disfrutar todo esto y no se nos quede sólo en archivos multimedia... sería muy triste desenterrar un esqueleto de elefante o de un oso gris para poder hablar de como eran... muy buen video Felicidades desde El Salvador.

[@LHWQ-yi1sk]

Teaching of evolution rests on three myths: 1) Mutations provide the materials needed to create new species; 2) Natural selection led to the creation of new species and 3) The fossil record documents macroevolutionary changes. Other words, belief in evolution - an act of "faith"
