This contest has been canceled

Description:
Take a photo of an animal/animals, showing their natural beauty and grace. Show nature in a way that will make you stop and stare at its beauty in awe. All animals are beautiful, no matter the species, and this contest is to show that. All animals, mamals, amphibions, insects, fish etc. are allowed to be photographed and entered, there's no limitation on species. However, though I said mamals, the picture you take cannot contain any part of a human, not even a finger. Just the animal or animals, and the environment they are in.

Rules:
-Maximum number of photos per entrant is 5, any pictures you enter in excess of that will be ignored.
-Picture cannot contain people, or any part of a human body. If they do, they will be disqualified
-Picture must be taken by you, and you only
-Bonus points will be awarded if the animal is in its natural environment, and in clear focus.
-Judges may enter, however, are limited to 3 entries
-Please clearly number all pictures, for the ease of judging

Ever has it been that love knows not its own
depth until the hour of separation.

if ever we meet on your side of the stereo,
I will pretend I know not of your flaws,
or even the way that they mirror my own.
