Here Are The 30 Most Jaw-Dropping Animal Photos, As Shared By “The Decisive Moments Magazine”
Animal photos comprise 90 percent of the entire internet's image database. It's a made-up number, but no one would be surprised to learn this if it were actually true. People love taking photos of animals, and they love watching them even more. The problem with animal photos on the internet is that there's never enough of them, at least the good ones.
But it may get a little tough to sift through all of the content. Which is why it's so nice that there are people whose sole purpose is to select only the best photos that are out there. "The Decisive Moments" Magazine's mission is exactly that: to collect and select the best photos that are out there, and promote them. This time we've collected the best animal street photography as shared on their Instagram account, and we hope you enjoy viewing it as much as we did selecting it.

Just recently, they've announced the winners of the best street photos of 2021, and we highly suggest checking them out in our recent article. As of now they've done two consecutive contests, and we certainly hope they're going to make even more in the future.

One thing about the streets is that they're full of all sorts of animals (and no, it's not some sophisticated and figurative way to talk about certain kinds of humans). There are usual suspects like cats, dogs and pigeons, but it all greatly depends on the culture the photos are taken from. Some streets are filled with goats and cows, somewhere else there's horses and monkeys. It may seem strange to us, but it's a part of life to whoever lives there. And street photography is in some sense but a momentary glimpse into that life, no matter its strangeness.

Load More Replies...Some of you might think that some of these photos are not exactly street photography, but it might surprise you that street photography isn't exactly about shooting things explicitly on the street. Indoor photos can be considered street photography, as well as photos from rural and less urbanized areas. The whole gist of street photography is the rawness of the perspective, its authenticity and randomness: one must be a keen observer of life in order to be good at street photography.

And here I sit, a bad bad boy in my bad boy tears until Mum says, 'It's okay, Charlie, I'm not mad. Why are you sitting out in the rain, you silly old thing? Come in and get dry.' And then, I lets myself be a good boy again and then Mum rubs me dry with a towel and I wiggle my butt.
I came home to feathers everywhere the other day. Cats def brought it in and the dog helped with the rest. Never found a body...

Birds are majestic creatures, but since they're so majestic, well, it's sometimes hard to capture it to its full extent. Which is why bird photography fails are so funny; check them out here. Here's another animal and street photography-adjacent topic: landscape photos. All of these articles, including the one you're in right now, just make me want to go out there and shoot with my camera.

Oo, Steve McCurry! He's the photographer who took that famous photo of the Afghan Girl: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_Girl He's an amazing portraitist.
This is the rare instance where being covered up would be a good thing, considering the dust and poo, but my heart aches for her. Our freedoms should never be taken for granted.
Serena prayed for peace. She prayed for freedom. She prayed for a sign that things would one day get better. But all she got was some stinking birds.
I don't mean to sound ignorant but can someone tell me why her entire head and face are covered? Even her eyes??
Taliban men in Afghanistan impose this type of covering on girls and women. Women are forbidden to be seen or heard. Therefore they are not allowed to go to school or to work. They should be in the home locked up as much as possible and are only allowed in the streets with a male family member. According to Taliban, extremist muslims.

Not showing your hair due to relifious reasons is one thing. But having to wear this, not being allowed to partake in all of life is just appaling. I hope the men who demand this are all reborn as suppressed and abused women.

The xylophone to heaven was a curiousity in that part of the town, but it gave the cats something to on the way to claiming a reboot for their nine lives. Some neighbours shared a less favourable view, however, in particular Devin, who claimed, 'Why they have to run up and down like silly buggers at 3am? I got to work in the morning.'

@Eucritta : well done, so it's definitely part of the show. (But it's still really dangerous if the horse accidentally falls on someone... people are really very (too) close.)
Load More Replies...Oh my god, I'm going to kill whoever thought this was a good idea. No - I have a better idea. Put a blunt knife in their mouth, use a leverage system to amplify the pain, pull as hard as possible, and surround them with strangers that are shouting and touching them, all the while making them do fancy, uncomfortable moves.
Is the horse in distress or is this part of the Lipizzaner performance?
@Starflight of the Nightwings : Hard to say without the precise context but if it is a popular equestrian festival, it is common for horses to perform tricks to impress and put on a show. The "cabré" (I don't know how to translate this term into English) is one of them, the horse is asked to stand up on its hind legs. so these are horses trained for that and accustomed to crowd.

The hoard was onto him, and the chase for the stolen amulet ensued. It gathered pace and rounded a corner. Harry thought he'd about lost them, until one rogue caught his eye, and it was on again. 'Up the stairs and I'll be safe,' Harry panted. Whilst the gaze was elsewhere, Elmo slunk through the shadows and away into the river of people. No-one had suspected him, though it had been him all along who had pilfered the prized charm into the depths of his stomach, thinking it was kibble. 'Hope it doesn't hurt when I poop,' Elmo mused.
