  1. Connor, you're sharing a nice series of images, but please do share them with more care:

    - Give them a meaningful title. You have done this for some of your photos, please do it consistently. It is recommended to include the species and location in the title, this gives the photo meaning to others.

    - Regarding species identification, make an effort to identify the species. If you don't know it exactly, share what you do know, this may help others in identifying them.

    Your images will have more impact this way, and will also be found by more people. Please do let me know if you have any questions.
