heres the definition i found for fauna...animals, especially the animals of a particular region or period, considered as a group.
Now, does this mean the pic needs to be a GROUP of animals or can it be a SINGLE animal? |

I have tried so hard to take a picture of a wild animal. It is tough when you don't have a telephoto lens. I seen so many deer, but they were to far away and every time I got a little close they would run off.

Sonja,
I actually got a (lousy) close up photo of a pronghorn antelope (of interest to you as they are indigenous to Wyoming)! Don't they get into your yard and eat your roses?

In a photography magazine I recently bought there was a feature about Tim Flach. He photographs animals in studio where he can control the environment better. There are some real great photos on his page! Just wanted to share that.

We don't get them in our yard but do get the deer in here because they jump over the fences. They aren't to bad of a pest.
There was one night I got home late from a small trip and was tired. I started to get the kids out of the car and turned around to find 3 big bucks about 10-20 feet away from me staring at me. I was a little spooked and didn't move for about 5 minutes until they decided to move on. That sure woke me up!!

I'm sure in some people's view it probably isn't :) Maybe it won't be pretty enough ? |

We made our own land, there is no wildness. :)
Damned birds, saw some hawks hunting, but they were too far away. And a big brown one (probably an 'Aalscholver') was sunbathing in a meadow with his wings spread wide, but next to the Highway where you can't stop. And a bee attacked my UV-filter wich is now covered with smears and yellow dust. If only I had the Macro mode on....... :)

Just got back after three days in the countryside and "wildness". I have been chasing insects and birds so I will probably dream about them for weeks. I really hope people think insects (and birds) are OK because that´s what it most likely will be.

Sure, I'd rate as well as any other wild... erm, thing that people submit. I guess you just have to shoot whatever is available, if theres no a great deal of subject matter you just have to do what you have to do. There should be some very interesting pitures, look forward to seein 'em all. |

| Fauna is "wild" animals?? Opps !! |

| "Wild" isn't the right word here for me. Fauna just doesn't imply people's pets to me, though a good shot of a pet will get a fairly good score from me, depending on how the artist presents it. I think. Maybe. Probably. Maybe. |

I agree here to David. I think fauna means horses, cows, anything that isn't set up to look like a house pet. And insects are not Fauna!???
they aren't even an animal.

Yes, it needs to be a GROUP photo only, and preferably a family with the mother, father, and all the little ones. Try and get them to look natural too, as it makes the photo look... well, natural. |

Why would it need to be a group of animals? Just because the definition uses the plural doesn't mean they have to be in a group, surely...
What I mean by that is if the definition used just "animal" that would seem to indicate that fauna only means theres one species native to the area, whereas "animals" would mean multiple species. Am I wrong here?
