Welcome

Welcome to #ZooPhotographers

Though a relatively new group, there are some initial ground rules that you should follow.

Submission Rules
Everyone is allocated a submission limit of 1 deviation to each folder each day, this may change in the future, but for now I consider it reasonable for a new group. Also we expect photos to be of a certain quality, not an unreasonable level but good, clear focus and some talent present, not a phone-snap.

What's NOT accepted:
• Humans in photos. (at all, even a body part like a hand, finger, etc.)
• Wild animals (this is a zoo/reserve photography group)
• Dead animals (with the exception of prey being fed)
• Blurry images
• Grainy images
• Near identical images (i.e. two images submitted of the same shot, just the tiniest change present)
• Big, over the top watermarks/copyright. A stamp is ok, but it should not take up more than 1/8 of the image and not be directly on the focus point unless subtle.
• Vulgar content - mistreated animals and sexual content (i.e. mating) is not allowed.
• You must be a member to submit content.
• Submit your shot into the right folder or it will be declined.
• No visible bars, glass reflections and try to avoid artificial backgrounds (i.e. painted walls with mock scenery, more bars), this is acceptable if the background is out of focus.
• Though we are a photography group, hyper-realistic animal drawings/artworks will be considered, but the standards will be high.
• Dogs/cats/hamsters/domesticated animals of all kinds are not accepted, this page is for wild animals in captivity.
• If you wish to know why your submission was declined please send us a note.

If you are confused regarding which folder your image goes into please read this thread for definitions of each group and examples of animals: click.
