Hello all, and welcome to the Bird Photography Contest! I doubt there is much to explain about this - just find yourself a bird, be it a pet budgerigar or a penguin, point, and shoot. Not always quite as easy as that, so I'll be sure to give you a plenty of time.

Rules
1. Submit your OWN work only. Plagiarism will result in immediate disqualification.
2. Up to three (3) entries per participant allowed. Each entry is to be posted separately.
3. Everything must be uploaded on Elftown.

Judging & prizes
There will be four winners: first, second and third place by poll, as well as a host's favourite. Winners get a badge, and there is also one for participants. <URL:stuff/birdphotoparticipant.png>

Deadline is December 22nd, 2008.

2nd place: no. 10 by [Viking]

2008-11-17 [Skydancer]: When a contest says photos, that normally means straight photos. Cropped maybe or minor adjustments same as you might do in a dark room, but photos. That owl is obviously not a "photo" its a photomanipulation.

2008-11-17 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: First of all, thank you for being so kind about answering my questions ^^ I had a feeling the owl wouldn't be accepted since it was put in photoshop. I just saw that the rules never stated anything about any photos tampered with would be disqualified. Thought I'd give it a shot and ask anyways ^^

But, if the feathers turn out to be a big problem, let me know. I have plenty of other entries I can enter ^^

2008-11-17 [Skydancer]: thats great, enter away and I think you will have better shots anyway. The idea behind a contest should be to stretch and do the very best you can. That and just have fun, never take it too seriously. :D

2008-11-17 [moira hawthorne]: specially since there isnt money involved1 lol... we are all just here to have fun

2008-11-17 [FamousPanda]: But the feathers aren't on a hat or anything like that they are from an actual peacock that she has plenty of pictures of. It's my peacock lol i have a bunch. ^-^

2008-11-17 [Skydancer]: that is besides the point. Its not a bird, its just a few feathers, and this is a contest about bird photos. Not to be picky, nor to question your honesty, but anyone can say anything on the net. :) And its still not a bird. Just the feathers from a bird. :D

2008-11-17 [FamousPanda]: but if its a bird photography contest the metal bird isn't a "bird" its a piece of metal shaped like one. would stuffed animals count? and these are all just questions. im not getting mad at anyone

2008-11-17 [Linderel]: Yes, I would accept a photo of a stuffed animal if someone would wish to submit one - as long as it showed that it's clearly a bird. The preference, of course, would still lie within real ones. :P

2008-11-17 [FamousPanda]: so is the feather one allowed as long as there is a reference photo of the actual bird up?

2008-11-17 [Linderel]: I believe that is what I said earlier.

2008-11-17 [Skydancer]: Ultimately tis two things, one the decisions of the contest holder, and two, just how nifty the photo is, be it of a real bird, a stuffed bird, a plush bird. Its the quality and originality of the photo, not the actual bird that is going to get you noticed. :D

2008-11-20 [Byne]: Wow. I missed a lot. o___o;

2008-12-01 [Byne]: [Kuruni] --> Your photos make me envious. x(

2008-12-01 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: What type of camera do you have [Kuruni]? They make me envious too. They're so neat looking and they're just common birds. =o

2008-12-09 [Alexi Ice]: Are mine ok?

2008-12-09 [Linderel]: Yup.

2008-12-09 [Alexi Ice]: ^^ Took those at Disney..the birds later tried to kill me for a cheeto...yeah, the look innocent now...

2008-12-10 [Skydancer]: Beware the Ibis of March, for they foretell your cheesy demise. :D

2008-12-10 [moira hawthorne]: bad puns! lol

2008-12-10 [Alexi Ice]: LOL ^^

2008-12-11 [Byne]: x)

I really need to find my other bird photos. x:
