Summary: Candy for the eyes!
Review: This book was beautiful from front to cover. Even the paper that the jacket was made out of awed me. The photos depict our world the way it is supposed to be seen; candid, young, innocent and pure. Treat yourself to this one, it will open your soul.

Summary: Wildlife photography as art
Review: This is not the static species photography often seen by hyped wildlife or bird photographers. Frans Lanting is able to transform wildlife photography into art. This book is mandatory for everone interested in wildlife photography. If for nothing else, just to see what state of the art looks like.

Summary: Beautifully Made Book; Full of Awe-Inspiring Images
Review: This is one of the most beautifully published books I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. If you love animals, photography, or just high quality book publishing, this one will bring a great deal of satisfaction. Lanting's images transcend mere animal identification shots as he clearly develops a relationship with each of his subjects. When you look at a portrait of a chimpanzee, you see pride and when you look at a photo of a family of Emperor penguins, you feel all the symbolic meaning of parenting on a spiritual level. Full of amazing photographs, this magnificent book makes a great gift (my mom loved hers) and comes highly recommended!

Summary: Prepare To Be Amazed !
Review: Wow !!! How can anyone get so close?! These photographs are stunning. The talent of Frans Lanting oozes from these pages. There is a closeness to the subjects here that borders on the intimate. In some cases, one wonders how he actually managed to get the shot. The focussing and exposure is spot on and the composition is perfect. I have tried to follow this type of photography and I am only too aware of how difficult it is to obtain these sorts of images. I take my hat off to Frans Lanting. This is a brilliant work. A completely unique approach to wildlife photography. His behind the scenes narrative to the shots is illuminating. This book is a valuable reference for all nature photographers. Sensational !
