Photographer David Lloyd's Bond of Brothers image, which features a pair of male lions, took home the People's Choice Award at this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. Sometimes we spend years mistreating animals to force them to perform certain acts. Or to behave in a certain way. And we would never in years of such behavior towards these majestic animals, be able to capture a moment so pure and natural. And in the spirit of that majesty, are these regal lion memes that will have you feeling like you too have (had) a claim to the Iron Throne.

Dog owners will agree that our canine friends have unique personalities beyond the traits of their breed. The family duo of Alexander Khokhlov and Veronica Ershova set out to show that dogs can do more than sit quietly, lie and bark on command. In their project "The Dog Show," the photographers show that some dogs are somber, others mischievous, haughty, laughing, sad, angry, indifferent. This series of funny and insightful dog portraits received the Silver Award of the Prix De La Photographie Paris contest. More: Alexander Khokhlov & Veronica Ershova, Behance
