Ouch! The male golden monkey who looks very uncomfortable wins the comedy shot

A photo of a male golden monkey falling on a rope in an extremely uncomfortable posture was named the 2021 comedy championship wild animals Photography award.

This photo named “Ouch!” was taken by Ken Jensen on a bridge over the Xun River in Yunnan, China. Jensen was on vacation with his family when this photo was taken in 2016. Golden monkeys wander in this forest area and play on the bridge. When Jensen took this photo, the man was sitting on the rope, showing signs of aggression.

Overall, there are more than 7,000 entries in this year’s competition. Jensen said in a statement: “I felt very at a loss after learning that my entry won.” “Especially when there are quite a lot of wonderful photos coming in. My image has been in the past few months. The publicity received is incredible, and knowing that a person’s image makes people smile and helps people around the world is great to support some very valuable conservation causes.

“I want to thank everyone who likes or voted for my image, and also to the organizers of the competition. Without them, it would be impossible. […] Finally, I want to thank my wife Min for her support and encouragement in my photography adventure. “

A picture of a “ninja” groundhog standing in front of a bald eagle was also commended by the award organizer.This photo taken by Arthur Trevino was rated animal Land category award. In the photo, the eagle seems to be taken aback by the little marmot. Trevino said the dog managed to escape from the eagle.

John Speirs won the Affinity Photo People’s Choice Award for a photo of a pigeon with leaves on its face. Chee Kee Teo’s smooth and furry baby otter and his mother won the Aquatic Award, and Vicki Jauron won the combo award for four photos showing a small statue playing in the mud in Matusadona Park in Zimbabwe.

The Comedy Wildlife Photography Award was established in 2015 to focus on the relaxed side of wildlife photography. 10% of the net income from this year’s competition will be donated to Save Wild Orangutans, a charity organization that protects Borneo’s Barong Mountains National Park and its surrounding species.
