Sooo....what can I contribute?

Hi folks...eager new member here. I am curious as to what is considered acceptable in terms of nature photos here.

I feel that I have alot of stuff to share, but when I really get down to it, most of my "wildlife" is zoo stuff or similar venues (the Carolina raptor Center) for instance.

My flower photos all come from the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens, so those aren't really wild either...

I don't get quite the opportunity to view animals in the wild...what are the guidelines?

Thanks

I dont' know what the official guidelines here are but I've noticed we have a captive animals category in our annual meeting contest so I would say share what you have.
