Mini-Challenge #585 - Wildlife
1

As suggested by gloaming , I am starting the next mini challenge (#585).

For this MC, all wild living things are welcomed. It could be a blackbird, a lion, a butterfly, or even something super-macro.

At long as it's wild, and not a plant or fungi, it qualifies.

This MC closes on the 22nd of May at 16:00 GMW.

Same rules as before, no date or camera limitations.

Please post each of your images in a new sub-thread, NOT added to an existing image's sub-thread.

Each entrant may enter up to 4 photos.

-

On the difficult matter of voting (hence hosting the next MC), I am going to suggest something slightly different.

There will be 2 different types of winners:

  1. A Winner chosen by the host (me)
  2. A Winner chosen by getting the most likes on his/her photo. (please put your photos in individual posts to aid this method)

Either winner may host the next MC, it is up for them to decide together (private messaging please). However, if neither winner wants to host the next MC, they don't have to.

I or someone else will take on the responsibility. (If this occasion arises, just message me if you want to host the next MC).

-

Examples:

Note: all these examples were taken with a Powershot sx410 IS.

Black-headed gull

Robin

European frogs (mating)

Song thrush

Slow-worm

Goslings

Mouse

Rabbit

Gosling

Emperor Dragonfly

-

You can still do exhibits only, but please don't be deterred from entering by not wanting to host the next MC. You won't have to if you don't want to.

Requa Entry #1

Thanks for taking the hosting duty, Jethro. I'll kick-start the mini with an entry from my archives. If I remember correctly from the whale watching guide, this was a norther right whale spotted on an outing out of Gloucester, MA a few years ago.

At the local farm up the hill, I don't think he liked the cameraman.

About as wild as we get here in Switzerland... (kidding, but not really).
