For this challenge JohnBo asks us to “show off your camera skills when it comes to faces, human or otherwise”.
I’m not good at photographing people so I will begin with two animal faces. The header photo is of Uga X, retired official football mascot of the University of Georgia Bulldogs. His real name is Que and he retired in the spring of 2023 after leaving a legacy as the mascot with the most wins including back-to-back National Championships. His replacement is the puppy Boom who will be on the sidelines at the Bulldogs’ first game of the season on September 2.
One of my favorite wildlife faces is this Grizzly Bear who seemed to be posing for me at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.

This Junkanoo Band travels from the Bahamas to march in the St. Patrick’s Day parades in Savannah and Tybee Island. I love the smile on the dancer’s face.

This guard at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland takes his job seriously and doesn’t let the crowd distract him from his job.

Many thanks to our host JohnBo for the challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #263 – Faces in a Crowd

Loved this one Beth. I’d read about your retiring bulldog—he had quite a run! Loved the colorful parade ladies and the bear looks very huggable but I’m thinking probably not!

Tina, I couldn’t resist including Uga’s face! The bear was in a wildlife refuge and must have been used to people with cameras.

Wonderful selection of faces. I do love the Bahamian lady’ smile and colorful costume! And, of course, Uga X. Who doesn’t love a dog.

He is used to a stadium filled with 92,000 fans and lots of cameras!
