There’s something particularly fascinating about birds of prey. They are rarer finds than many common species, and often display a majesty, or an agility, that allows them to soar for hours in search of carrion, or deftly catch their next live meal. Our definition for this contest is taken from the ‘Bird of prey’ wikipedia page (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_of_prey) and includes species that primarily hunt and feed on vertebrates, including owls.
This Premium Contest is worth 1.5x the standard points towards your Leaderboard ranking. It’s Expert-judged AND crowd-rated, with your score from each combined. Find out more about ranking points here. Our Experts are some of the world’s finest photographers, who select the best images, and provide valuable feedback to help you improve.
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.
