Photography contests are back at DU3! This month is the continuation of the previously interrupted contest featuring the subject:
Animals - Not Pets
The top two finishers in each Preliminary thread will advance to the Final round, along with the next four highest vote-getters overall.
In the final round the top 3 will be chosen from the ten finalists.
Comments are encouraged, we'd like to know what you think. Please vote, and recommend and kick the threads.
Thank you all for your interest and participation
Note to Mods: Skinner has authorized this contest to run in GD.

(33,055 posts)I just can't......oh shoot, I'll go with "what's for supper". I used to hate those birds, but have grown to love them for their soaring technique.....they hardly ever flap their wings, they just float. So happy the contests are back.

(22,541 posts)And it shows so perfectly. I'm getting a Wizard of Oz kind of feeling when I look at it, too.

(55,113 posts)I would vote for them all if I could, they are all wonderful. Looking at the photos in the contest brings a sense of wonder and admiration of the skills of the photographers (and a little envy too, truth be told, lol).

Skittles
(162,610 posts)I've learned from observing them up close (peanuts in the shell in my patio) they are SOOOOOOO expressive with their body language
Jamastiene
(38,197 posts)They put their little hands to their chests and look at you like they are saying, "Are you looking at me?" It is so adorable. My aunt swore up and down they wouldn't eat peanuts, but they love them.
I know the look.....heck, just watching them bit into the peanut shell to get to the peanut cracks me up - their little hands
