Having seen some of the amazing wildlife photos on here over the years, I am not sure that I stand much chance, but I like having a challenge to think about when out with my camera, so hopefully I will be able to submit a suitable shot.

The animal kingdom, covers a massive range of subjects.
As I say to the 52'ers. "Sometimes you need to think outside the box"

I'm not asking you to eat them, just discuss & just take a picture.
 
Having head-butted the pavement a couple of days ago :( I'm not sure I'm going to get much opportunity to get out and about, but I have an idea if I get mobile quickly enough.
Fortunately my kit was still in its padded bag at the time so it didn't suffer the same as me. :)

I hope there are no lasting effects, Roger.

Do Builders count as animals??

From the web :-
Homo sapiens, a species of highly intelligent primate that includes all living humans...
 
That's a can of worms opened: "highly intelligent primate" and "builders" in close juxtaposition.....:exit:
 
I've kicked off the images thread, with a modest shot of a bullock on a local farm. I went out looking for lovely Jersey cows, because I know there are a couple of local milking herds, but couldn't find them - they must be in fields away from the roads now. Had to make do with a small herd of Friesian bullocks, one of whom caught my eye for his unusual markings.
 
Threw my hat into the ring ;)
 
Okay got my entry in - though initially clearly shocked by my bruised face, I was able to get the cooperation of a nice young lady and her dog.
 
Did anyone else think they had 2 weeks...
 
I'm glad I am not being entirely stupid then!
 
Ah so there is another week, no need to have rushed!

As it was my mistake if you want to replace it, its not a problem.
 
Well I met my 'subjects' again this morning when out on my walk and she asked if she could see the photo.
I showed it to her and she asked if I could email her a copy and of course I agreed - I have now had an email from her asking if I can do a proper family shoot!

Nice one (y)
 
Are the image’s supposed to be taken during the dates the competition is open?

I only asked because one was clearly taken last year

I've no idea, who that maybe, but hopefully whoever it was will own up, and replace their image within the rules. :)
 
@Paulie-W
According to your flickr account that is an image dated last year.

It does say in the T&C's Paul.
Feel free to replace it.
For now, I'll remove it but leave the post, and you can edit a new one in if you want.
