Does 'Wildlife' mean Flora or Fauna, or both?

BrookieD

Wildlife.
Your take on this word. Anything you can think off, I hate to phrase but "think out side the box" Damm can not belive i said that :-(

Good luck

PH01

Woo! Wildlife that could be anything then! Jayzuz, go into any club in the country at around three in the morning and you'll see plenty of wildlife there!
Me, I'm gonna stick to shooting fauna!

When I suggested the topic "Wildlife" I was thinking about birds and foxes, tigers and monkeys, butterflies and dinosaurs (if you can find a live one).

BrookieD

Thats cool qwertz but we can also have an open ended take on the theme so that we see how creative people get. could be fun

qwertz

Don't get me wrong, I was just posting my original thoughts. Anything goes, as long as it's fun for everybody and legal

Do really old and tall people count?

BrookieD

Hi folks,
Just checked te mail box on this challenge ( i know its late but i was sick!!) only 3 entries. Lack of entries could be due to xmas or maybe lack on interest. I will extened the deadline on this for another week. Please submit your wildlife pictures until 16th Jan. I will look to see if there is any more interest if not I may pull the plug.
No point taken up space if no one wants to take part in challenges.

Cheers
Darren

I think it would be a mistake to assume that lack of interest in this particular topic meant a general lack of interest in taking part in challenges. I'm sure christmas was a factor but also this challenge is a logistically difficult one for many who don't have easy access to 'wildlife', or anything that could be easily interpreted as that.

BrookieD

Hi Improv
agreed on the Xmas timing. Might be aswel to scrap this one and start a fresh challenge. Maybe something easier like "Cars" ??

bigred

Oops, knew there was something I meant to do over the crimbo. I'm afraid I'll have to bow out this time

father_ted9t9

Cancelling this one would not really be fair on those of us who bothered to actually go and take photos brookie! But your the boss!

Maybe not that easy

As Father_ted says, scrapping this one would be unfair on those who did make the effort. The extended deadline might bring in a few more, but three is still enough to vote on.

BrookieD

Ok folks deadline extended to next Sunday.
All pics enterd?? will be displayed on Monday. Voting from Next monday for 7 days.

Hope we get some more pics....lol

john05

will post one in as soon as i get a good angle on this pig thats sitting in front of me

Yeah I think it should be kept - only a few days to go anyways.

Throw up a new thread/poll though, on what people to do next, methinks.

BrookieD

Congrats to the Wildlife winner Father Ted9t9 on his entry of the SWAN.

I am sure you will agree that it was a very nice picture indeed.



10 rep points if we still had them.

cheers
