Open to photographers with a gold or silver ranking. There are two other 'Birds' contests currently open to other ranks. Take a look at the leaderboard for more information on Photocrowd rankings.
Photographing birds can be rewarding and frustrating in equal measure. But with patience and practice you’ll become better at capturing them in flight, perched, feeding or tending their young. Remember to practise your focusing skills so you can get sharper images of moving subjects.
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.
