Wildlife Photo Competition 6 2017 : Entry Number 49

Judges Comment

Here is the gruesome one, the wart hog. He is moving and you have caught him with his legs crossed giving him an unlikely delicate allure. Fun photo with an interesting close look at his untidiness :-)

Photographers Comment

Ph. Marco Poggioni. Usually the warthogs are considered ugly and not very interesting animals. But I think it is in their grotesque ugliness that we can find the charm of these animals. The photograph was taken in South Africa with a Nikon D800E and a Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VRII lens
