\u201cI think part of what makes this contest great is that most of these photos probably happen by complete accident and that was certainly the case with the lion cub falling out of the tree,\u201d says Jennifer Hadley, whose image was awarded the Creatures of the Land category winner and the overall winner, and whose second image of penguins was voted by the public. \u201cIt was very late in the afternoon and so I had my shutter as open as possible to capture the most light possible with my shutter down lower than I would have liked but I figured with the cub walking around in the tree, I didn\u2019t really need the speed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt didn\u2019t even occur to me that he would make a go of getting down by himself in the most un-cat like fashion. I mean, how often do cats fall out of trees? The gasp that emanated from our vehicle was palatable. No one expected this to happen and of course we were concerned for his safety but happily as cats do, he righted himself just in time and landed on all fours and ran off with his siblings. A happy ending for a hapless kitty who didn\u2019t quite know how to get down from a tree.\u201d<\/p>\n
