2024 Birds / Open

Judge: Shawn Carey

Although the general theme "Nature" is no surprise to long-term members, this year we are doing a special version; instead of avoiding the "hand of man" in your images, now we are looking for birds in the human environment. 

What qualifies? Think the inverse of the usual "no-hand-of-man"; your human environment might be as obvious as a pigeon on a park bench or as subtle as the suggestion of a human in the background. Maybe a seabird with a lobster pot in the image.
