Best of - Wildlife Edition

This is a collection of what I consider to be my best wildlife images. This includes any mammal, bird, reptile, insect, fish, and other such images that can be found on this website. Of course, there may be a few shots of animals in captivity sprinkled in here as well and they will be marked as such.

Interested in purchasing a print? A select number are available HERE. If your image of interest is not yet available for purchase, email me at guy@explorethelightphotography.com or leave me a message on this site. Please include either a link to the image or the gallery/image name.
