This contest is for your photographs of colourful reptiles in their natural surroundings, not in tanks in captivity. Colour editing should be kept to a minimum to show the animal's natural colours. It is okay for other animals or people to be present in the photo, as long as the reptile is the main focus of the image.
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.
