The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2024 SCOTT FRIER Ocean Shores United States Title: Nagging is a Universal Concept Description: I liked this image as It reminds me of the old TV commercial for Maxell audio cassette tapes called: "Blown Away Guy". On safari in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania we hung around a Kopji of rocks because there were lion cubs being nursed when this action happened. I was just lucky enough to catch it. I have this image printed and hung on a wall of my home, everybody who sees it laughs at it. One of those people mentioned that I should entered it in this contest so here it is. Animal: Lion & Lioness Location of shot: Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
