The winners for what is actually known as the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have been chosen and people are stoked!
Nothing heals the soul more than comedy and animals… combine the two and we are left with are the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. The winners of this year’s competition have been revealed and people could not be more ecstatic with the results.
The top prize was taken out by Ken Jensen, an amateur photographer hailing from the UK. His photograph of a Golden Silk money is appropriately titled “Ouch!”
Ken explained that the group of monkeys were all acting and playing inquisitively, while this particular monkey was noticeably aggressive.
Karma quickly reared its “unfortunate” head putting the angry animal in a rather uncomfortable position.
Ken spoke out after learning of his success stating, “It is a great feeling to know that one’s image is making people smile globally as well as helping to support some fantastically worthwhile conservation causes.”
