Recently I shared my Top 10 Landscape Photos of 2013. But that only represents half of who I am as a photographer. I also love photographing animals, particularly wildlife, so now I have for you my top 10 animal photos of 2013. Since two of my top 10 photos were taken in a zoo, I feel I have to say “animals” rather than “wildlife”.
Here they are, in the order I made them. Please click on any of the images to view larger versions.
1. Tufted Capuchin at the San Diego Zoo, California

Great animal and landscape photos! Animals dominate my top photos as well 🙂

I am torn between the Humpback Whale and #10 the Bald Eagle. Both are moving in the majesty the subjects exhibit.
Good Work!

Beautiful work—I especially was affected by the Tufted Capuchin. It’s a deep photo. Congratulations.
I notice last night that your Top 10 Landscapes of 2013 post was featured on ZITE an online magazine app I have on my iPad. This is not the first time you made Zite or Flipboard before. Congrats.
The orca shot is definitely my favourite but it’s a great top 1 0!
Terrific series of animal photos Anne. Wonderful experiences to remember.
I have been following you for about 6 mths now and love your work! Thank you very much
p.s. love both the whale shots!
