Mary Doo Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Basic Guidelines: In the strictest sense, nature photography should not include "hand of man elements". Please refrain from images with buildings or human made structures like roads, fences, walls. Pets are not permitted. Captive subjects in zoos, arboretums, or aquariums are permitted, but must be declared, and must focus on the subject, not the captivity. Images with obvious human made elements will likely be deleted from the thread, with an explanation to the photographer. Guidelines are based on PSA rules governing Nature photography which also cover the Nature Forum. Keep your image at/under 1000 pixels on the long axis for in-line viewing. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site at Flicker, Photobucket, your own site, etc. Each member please post no more than just one image to this weekly thread per week. If the information is available, many members appreciate information on your approach to making the image and the names, both common and scientific, of the subject(s). However, while encouraged, these are not required as a component of your contributions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Happy New Year! As we soar into 2024, I'm happy to share a shot captured from an airplane window that signifies a new dawn. Fresh beginnings and the many possibilities lie ahead of us, photographic or otherwise. Let's make the best version of ourselves in 2024, make it a year of transformation and achievement! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all animals it has the longest bill or beak in comparison to its body size. How spectacular. It must have the special ability to avoid tripping, when its flight action is so fast.
