Comedy Wildlife photo judges got it wrong

Who knew there was a Comedy Wildlife Photography competition? Endless opportunities for hilarious photos, yet these were the top three winners. The first one is cute. But comic? I don’t see it. Both Second and Third Place are far funnier, IMHO, although admittedly the judges had a tough job.  What’s sad is all those that didn’t/couldn’t make the top three. I’ve included a few of my favorites, but to see them all you’ll have to go to the The Weather Channel website. Trust me, it’s worth your time.
