Nature's Comedy Show: Award-Winning Wildlife Photos That'll Crack You Up

12. Awkward Hi

In a seeming moment of engagement with a passing photographer, this lovely picture highlights the adorable quality of Alaskan sea otters. Though they are considered "awkward," the picture catches the otters' genuine curiosity and friendliness. The timing is ideal, catching what looks to be a purposeful welcome act from these marine life.

Though their posture and gestures create an almost human-like scenario of respect and welcome, the composition displays the otters in their natural habitat. Emphasising their social character and the surprising moments of interaction between humans and animals, the photographer has caught the core of these species' personalities. The lighting and water conditions enhance the whole attractiveness and provide the ideal environment for this touching meeting.
