In this contest, please show me your close-up or macro photographs of bird feathers. Avian plumage is marvellously functional and often incredibly beautiful so images should concentrate on the beauty and patterns of the feathers. The feathers must be on a bird itself, not in hats or other decor. Photographs can be in colour or monochrome.
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
