One section is Urban Wildlife.

So the challenge is to take a photo that "shows wild plants or animals in an urban or suburban environment, with the human presence being very much part of the photo."
No zoo shots.

Required level: 15+ or higher.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

Suggested by: madamemonty

kyricom: Does "human presence being very much a part of the photo" mean humans have to be in the shot, or do buildings etc. show human presence? ( 5 years and 2294 days ago )

Wayne Cheah: I would say it means "evidence" or "artifacts" of human presence, otherwise the well-worn phrase "humans allowed" would have been used? ( 5 years and 2294 days ago )

friiskiwi: Mark, people does not need to be in the photo, check the link from above;

madamemonty: gibbsld, chickens and roosters would be considered domestic animals not wildlife. ( 5 years and 2294 days ago )

gibbsld: My level is 15 - I can not enter a photograph so am I right to assume I need to be 16 or higher to enter? ( 5 years and 2293 days ago )

Wayne Cheah: @ gibbsld..... we've all been there
