GROUP SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Welcome to Wild Birds of the World: no human elements, no fancy post-processing, just nature at its very natural best!

This group celebrates the beauty of our natural world of free and untamed birds in their natural environment. Our goal as nature photographers is to capture our subjects with the least amount of disruption to the subject to provide an accurate presentation of the bird's natural state. As such, please note these guidelines:

1. One photo image per day. This is a bird photography group.
2. Minor edits are allowed but the bird must be presented in a realistic and natural fashion.
- No photo paintings, false backgrounds and heavy filtering. Images will be judged against the joint PSA and FIAP Nature Division definition found here: https://psa-photo.org/page/division-definitions
3. Must be a wild bird in its natural environment with no human elements (see link above - leg bands are OK).
4. Domestic, caged or falconry birds are not wild birds.
- If your image is from a zoo, you probably won't want to say so!
5. The FULL COMMON NAME or Scientific name must be listed
- Bush Stone Curlew would be accepted. Burhinus grallarius would be accepted.
- Curlew on its own would not.
- Other examples of what is not enough are: seagull, egret, heron, crane, hawk, etc.
6. No landscapes or silhouettes. The species of bird must be identifiable.
7. No bird baths, bird feeders. Other human elements in a shot will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

I hope you enjoy the group!
