Animals Category
Wild, captive or domesticated

This thread is for discussion of your entries (there's nothing wrong with giving yourself a little exposure - post a link!), the techniques you used to create your shot, and to point out your favourite entries from other entrants so far.

Why at moment all entries seem to go straight into editors choice?

just looked at the animal section of the competition, again photos are again in readers choice with no votes.  How can they be in readers choice.  Who's choice.  This competition is getting ridiculous.  It is a mockery.  I thought all the problems were supposed to be sorted out.

Hi,

I'm only new to this but most entries don't have votes or comments .. even spectacular, very creative ones. Is this normal? Do people start to participate as the deadline gets closer?

Re Animal category.. I almost didn't post my "pet" pic because it was a dog/pet pic .. but dammit it's a decent photo.. I hope "everyday" animals get a look-in as they are familiar and popular.

Re comments below.. I can't even view an editor's choice.

Okay.. nice to be in touch. Good luck to all and I'm enjoying the submissions.

Regards, Liz

I have tried to 'capture the personality of the animals' in some of the pictures and in others certain personality trains seem to come to the fore of their own accord....

I think that this is my favourite image taken for the animals section, but feel free to check out the others.

I do think that there is a fair bit of personality in each of these animal shots but I would love to hear your opinion on them!

Cheers, Nick.
