Animals also have emotions. Dogs, for example, are happy to see you when you come home. They like interacting with you. Wildlife is no different. Elephants are said to mourn at the death of a family member. Gannets rejoice when their partner gets back to the nest. Animals interact with each other. They play. They cuddle. They fight. That is what we should be capturing to get more interesting images.

Here is a little one nibbling on Mom's nose. Would you prefer a shot of both of them just standing there looking at you instead? I doubt it. Animal interaction is interesting. It calls forth emotions within the viewer, perhaps a chuckle. Animal interactions make them more relatable to the viewer. It personifies them. The viewer's eyes are always going to go straight to where the action is which can be used compositionally. Here that interaction is placed where the rule of thirds lines insect, which is a very strong compositional position. Both the foreground and the background are blurred so nothings else competes for your attention.

          Spend time with animals. Get to know their behavior. Capture their behavior and show them interact with each other. It just adds a bit of sparkle to wildlife images.
