February Photo Competition: Animals

[girasol]

If we're allowing 'birds of a feather' to be part of the competition, then disco dave's 'Chinese Dragons' should be allowed to enter too, I think. In fact, the subject is open to interpretation, so if peeps want to enter photos of bath ducks that's fine with me.

(Just saying that because disco_dave_2000's entry is not on the thumbnails)

^^^ It's there now, or maybe it was there all along and I just missed it... @ self...

This is my last entry, it's blurred and dark, but I like the fact that the fisherman's fly is open... (not in a sleazy way!!!! )

I had a think about this and I don't think we should 'disqualify' entries, I think the subject should be open to interpretation and I also think that the more people entering the better...

I agree with you wiskey, from my interpretation, some entries don't quite fit the subject, but that's just my interpretation. Keeping that in mind, I will vote for the photos I think fit the theme...

What does everyone else think?

 

[Hocus Eye.]

I agree, the competition title is there to inspire photographs and can be interpreted in any way the photographer wants to go. For example my 'Pigs Might Fly' photograph is not a real living animal but is an image from a representation of one. The photoshopped deer is obviously a manipulated image so evidently no deception is intended. Why shouldn't this be allowed as a piece of creative image making?

In the 1850's many photographers e.g. HP Robinson, made pictures out of multiple negatives, it is not a new thing. 'Fading Away' was made from 5 negatives.

In the end the voters will decide what images they want, lets leave them to it.
