Leaping wolf snatches photo prize - 10-27-2009, 09:32 AM


A picture of a hunting wolf has won the prestigious Veolia Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009 award.
Jose Luis Rodriguez captured the imaginations of the judges with a picture that he had planned for years, and even sketched out on a piece of paper.
"I wanted to capture a photo in which you would see a wolf in an act of hunting - or predation - but without blood," he told BBC News. "I didn't want a cruel image."




All the winners.

all the winners are awesome shots but the Wolf is just one of those well timed photos.
