Photo Contest: Birds

PhotographyPosted by Staaan

Here's the first official photo contest of /c/photography! The plan is to start these regularly, when the audience grows we can introduce some interesting rewards!

The goal of this contest is to post your best photos of birds. Birds aren't always easy to photograph. It helps to use a big lens and to have some basic understanding of birds and their habitats.

So grab your gear, head into nature and take some glorious shots of wild or captured birds!

Best of luck!

PS: After uploading an entry, you can press the 'edit' button to add additional information to your entry. When submissions close, there will be a 2 day voting period.

A peaceful scene, very relaxing and I like the colour saturation.

Good composition for this family. I would have liked to see a larger picture to watch the details.
