Photo Contest
Who is the contest for?
Relevance
- The photo shows us details that allow us to identify the bird.
- It tells us something about its behavior, what it eats.
- It informs us about its space and time context (seasonal colors, vegetation), its environment, its habitat.
Impact
- The photo touches us.
- It is particular, untypical, original.
- The bird is photogenic.
It is open to all members of the Club des ornithologues de Brome-Missisquoi. For bird lovers. No need to be a photo pro. Just the pleasure to capture a moment…
The photos speak to us
- The photos teach us, move us, amuse us, delight us.
