ASSIGNMENT 45 - The Animal Kingdom*

keps

This challenge is to provide an image which contains examples from the great world of animals(including birds).
Our pets, our farm animals and our extensive wildlife.


Some examples from the net.









Maybe the zoo?




It would be great if posters from outside Ireland would submit photos of birds/animals not found here!




The rules:
-Photos must be posted within 2 weeks of the day the task was set– so the closing time/date is 8pm on Sunday 3rd October 2010.
-No old photos. Only photos taken with this task in mind qualify.
-Therefore, the photo must be taken after 8pm on the 19th September 2010.
-Photos must be on the given task.
-ONE photo per post. Submit as many posts as you like.
-Stretch yourself – there is no limitation to what you can do to produce the image.
-The next task/subject is to be chosen by the person who has the most thanks after their post at the closing date/time (the post must include a photo).


-Hopefully this thread will be used for Photos and ‘thanks’ only – any discussion on the overall Theme or on Photos submitted (including C&C which is welcome) should be posted on the assignment ‘Discussion Thread’.


Best of luck!
