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?


^^

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.
