		I am debating over which photo to submit for Fauna Challenge. One is of a cat (singular) and one is of a group of swans. Uncertanties: Cat shot isn't 'animals collectively' as stated in the challenge; Swan shot, do birds come under the of category of Fauna? Please help before it's too late! Many thanks anyone that does help. Tim.

		OK so I wanna just be clear here... anyone on council whos online now... is it group of animals only? I know the brief is "noun. Animals collectively, esp. of a particular period, region, or environment." Is that animals (species) of a particular period... or animals (a group of animals) of a particular period...
 
 Mega confusion |

		not like our opinion matters :) but i dont think it has to be a pic of a 'group'.  just an animal or animal (s).  the 'group' aspect in the definition just refers to the scientific classification.

		| Biologically speaking, it can be both.  So go for a individal, group, flock, herd, etc. of any king of wild animal (zoo represents wild) you want to photo. |

		The number of animals is irrelevant. I PERSONALLY would tend to vote higher on pictures of animals which are native to an area as opposed to clearly domesticated/household animals, but more on the basis of them being more interesting and unusual than a question of "meeting the challenge." But a great picture of a cat should rate more highly than a lousy picture of swans...
 
 Go with the one you like best, or the one for which  you're most desirous of feedback... |
