07-11-12 – Carnival of the Animals

Okay, it would suck among the voters; but just to qualify, if it’s called the “Wild Duck Cluster”, and I don’t see the duck, is it okay?
Looks more like a rabbit to me.
I see two 17th century Englishmen sipping tea.

I was mostly just glad not to see two hands in the image. lol.
I thought it was a great shot of a globular cluster but not very animal like. Probably would skip voting for that reason.

Was thinking more along the lines of the Horsehead Nebula or the constellation Scorpio, actually, just wondering if the concept is acceptable as ‘representation as animals’. Posted the WDC because I know I won’t be using it.
I think horsehead should be fine, so long as you get it in one shot and aren’t stacking. It’s close enough that it falls under the abstraction angle I thought the whole theme was about to begin with. Scorpio…. well…. Do you want to leave that up to the voters?
So just to re-affirm I must ask,.. Viable, extinct, mythological and fictional are all OK? It seems like that’s the way many people are interpreting this just so long as it’s not the actual animal.
I was considering taking a picture of a cattle crossing sign along a rural highway. You know, big yellow diamond, black border, black sillouhette of a cow. That’s one of my ideas. Stuffed animals were another thing that came to mind when I read this theme. I’m just saying.

I think that’s stretching it given almost no one would see the shape of an animal in that star cluster.

I see a cosmic goat…… se.
Headed out tonight to the Mustangs of Los Colinas sculpture to see if I can get a solid third for this contest. Seems I’ve taken a liking to the night photography bit lately, perhaps it’s because it’s getting to be 100+ degrees during the day?
are we counting bugs and fish as animals for this one?
Yes theyre still Animalia
How far does the “no actual animals” ban extend? In particular, what about humans dressed as animals? (NOT furries!)
I hope SilverStag checks in tomorrow to resolve some of these questions. To me, that would be within the spirit of the theme without actually being in the letter of the theme, i.e. I’d let the voters sort it out. But I’d like to hear others thoughts on that.

Not my theme, but I’d guess that’s gotta be OK… at least if the costume covers the human 100% – I’m thinking mascots and other similarly dressed humans. A girl in a Playboy bunny costume, while attractive and potentially vote getting, is probably outside the rules.
But… not my contest, so we’ll see what subby says.
Based on previous SilverStag themes, I know he tends to err toward open-interpretation. I’d bet he’d say humans dressed as animals is within the spirit, but I also hope he’ll chime in before then to advise.
