Hmm...semantics are the stuff of meaning and reality without which we may slip into a world of fantasy. Your PM (yes it was lengthy, wasn't it?) does not convince me that major wildlife photography competitions do not allow or in specific categories wholeheartedly embrace the hand of Man, and you'll forgive me if I prefer to go with the establishment on this matter. The definition of wildlife to me is the whole of the animal kingdom, an animal kingdom that includes insects; this challenge did not specifically exclude insects and as far as I am concerned it is up to the voters to make their own informed choice.

Anyway, DPchallenge is just a bit of fun so let's agree to differ and lighten up and enjoy our hobby. Have a nice weekend.

Not usually much of a lover of photos of other peoples' children, but I really like this. A sweet looking child captured in a pose and with a look on his face that is certainly appealing - love the plant pots, too!

For a bit of obscure but thought provoking "humour" social commentary. I especially like "The Fence" which refers to the term WILDLIFE in a succint way.

Actually, this statement couldn't be more wrong. Check out the British Wildlife Photography Awards where there are plenty of examples of manmade objects interacting with modern wildlife, and even a dedicated category for "Urban Wildlife". By definition it is the 'life' that is wild regardless of the static background it chooses to be wild among.
