33 Grappige Foto’s Uit de Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards

Dit jaar ontving de competitie meer dan 10.000 inzendingen — het hoogste aantal ooit — uit 112 landen. De deelnemers strijden om de hoofdprijs: een eens-in-een-leven safari met Alex Walker’s Serian in de Masai Mara. Andere prijzen zijn onder meer een Nikon Z6 III, een Nikon Z50 II en een Nikon ZR.
