Showing one’s teeth doesn’t always mean they’re smiling for the camera. Animals tend to expose their teeth especially when it comes to territory and lack of food sources. The fight may end up harmless, but sometimes also very brutal. The opponent may bleed to death and this may seem merciless to us, but that’s how nature occasionally works. As a matter of fact, we tend to describe a merciless fight between humans as animal-like.

Taking close-up pictures like these can be highly risky, as animals don’t like any hindrance during their combats. For whatever reasons they may be fighting, this can injure the person or animal coming between them. Today we have come up with some dazzling shutterbug shots to inspire you and take you on a walk with us through the wild side. Enjoy with us some spectacular animal fighting moments!

I’m no underwater photographer myself, but I can still say that underwater photography is in a class of it’s own. I can imagine how difficult it is to get the perfect lighting and setup for each shot–I’d imagine a good bit of it comes down to luck and being in the right place at the right time. Like so many of our collections, this roundup is useful not only to photography enthusiasts but also to graphic designers–just look at all of the vibrant colors and patterns you can find under the sea. I’m sure there are a few vector illustrators out there who could draw some inspiration from the faces of some of these interesting sea creatures.

Good Day my friends =) today I’m sharing really cool and useful freebie - Vector Wings! Wings have always been in trend and there are so many ways you can use it in graphics.

Nature is fascinating and often weird, it surprises us when we expect less. Some creatures use the camouflage techniques as a hunting and defense mechanism, others show everything they have, literally. This post is dedicated to the latter ones.

Despite of what we are inclined to think, transparent and translucent animals live also on the ground, not only in the abyss of the ocean and we have visual proof of it. Nothing is photoshopped!

Birds enrich beauty into the sky, slipping into sunsets, diving into water and gliding through the clouds. It’s incredible to see such unique capture of photography on these diverse species.

Capturing the intensity of flight, the profound coloration in the feathers and the focus during hunting or simply sitting boldly within landscapes are rare opportunities to gain.

Take a look at twenty of the best bird photography moments that have been captured and kindly shared on the web. Let us know your favourite!
