Wild Horses, France Photograph by Marco Carmassi, I've been a photographer for more than 25 years. This is an image from my "Camargue Wild Horses" collection, composed of around 50 photos. I took it around a month ago during my trip to the Camargue Nature Park, where I had the luck to shoot these wonderful animals in their natural environment. I used a Canon 5D Mark II with a Canon 70-200mm L lens.

Rabbit, Oregon
I was driving in Oregon when a rabbit crossed paths with my car. I slammed on the brakes and stopped while the bunny shot across the rest of the road. I thought "why not?" and pulled out my camera while it brushed itself off, and it appeared it was praying when I captured the photo.
