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]

2008-10-15 [Byne]: ...Oops. x: I'll change that when I upload the third image. x____x

Sorry.

2008-10-20 [Byne]: I love the metal bird. xD

2008-10-20 [Iuna]: haha thanks Robine! =)

2008-10-20 [Viking]: *adds another vote for the metl bird =) *

2008-10-20 [Iuna]: =D thanks!

2008-10-20 [Byne]: I need to find my other birdie photo and change my URLS so I ain't breaking no rules... >___<

2008-11-17 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: I have two questions!

Could I enter just feathers?

Could I enter this?
<img200*0:http://elftown.eu/stuff/z/80010/mary%2527s%2520art/i1226882956_1.jpg>

^^

2008-11-17 [Linderel]: I'll have to say no to both of these, I'm afraid. :P

2008-11-17 [Linderel]: Oooo, [Kuruni] got page version 42.

2008-11-17 [FamousPanda]: why cant you submit feather pictures its on a bird?

2008-11-17 [Linderel]: Well, I'd like to see the whole bird, y'know. Or at least enough of it that we can see that indeed it is a bird of some sort. The feather image would be a nice entry for a macro photo contest. :)

2008-11-17 [moira hawthorne]: well why would the metal bird be included? ...its a sculpture not a bird... at least these two are birds...

2008-11-17 [Linderel]: Uagh. Clearly I shouldn't be answering any questions without having slept first. Can't think clearly.
Okay.
I'll allow the feather image if a picture showing the bird it came from can be posted alongside it. While the metal bird is a sculpture and not a living being, it still shows a significant portion of the bird and not just a detail of it. :P

2008-11-17 [moira hawthorne]: sleep is good... answer these once you have slept

so basically it has to be an photo of a bird... whether its a real bird or not... it has to represent a bird not elements of a bird... like feathers are only part of a bird... a face of a person is recognizable as that person... but their feet arent... so someone couldnt have webbed duck feet... by a head shot like 15.[FamousPanda] Owly is ok...

just why is 2nd red owl image not acceptable?

2008-11-17 [Skydancer]: the red owl is not a photo, its a highly photoshoped image and this is a photography contest. shrugs pretty obvious.

2008-11-17 [Linderel]: Exactly.

2008-11-17 [Skydancer]: Actually I would have to see the bird from the feathers too. Its too simple to take a shot of say a hat with some feathers or a feathered detail on some item and that is not a bird either, there is no way to tell if its really a bird or not.

2008-11-17 [moira hawthorne]: well its just that its a PSfiltered photo.... its not a drawin...

and im just possin questions so that everyone knows the limitations...

2008-11-17 [Skydancer]: Nods which is good. Its sometimes hard to think about being really really clear in the rules in the beginning of a contest and someone always finds something outside what you might of considered. :D But that is the point, its Photoshopped. Its not a photo.

2008-11-17 [FamousPanda]: it is a photo just the colors have been altered

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.
