A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How do the professional wild life photographers take such sharp photos that look almost borderline fake?

Tagging on to your comment because you've covered most of it here.

In addition to getting close to your subject, if you can find an angle to shoot that maximizes the distance of the subject to their background, that can increase subject separation which also helps perceived sharpness.

Jan WegenerJan Wegener has a great video on sharpness that talks about some lesser-considered factors in perceived sharpness.
