We all like taking photos of the things we love or find pretty, but for this challenge I am looking for photos of wildlife which you find unattractive or which you do not like. Some wildlife could fall into both categories. It could be that they are unlucky in the looks department - vultures, gnu or toads come to mind, but I am sure you can think of others. Those unloved by some could include snakes, spiders, the wasps that invade your picnic, mosquitoes or the pest species such as locusts, rats or the slugs that eat your lettuces. The real challenge is to make them seem appealing or fascinating.
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.
