- First, sorry but I had to delete one of your photos (with the kid on it). Photos of people, buildings and objects are not allowed here, and will be deleted. The rest is fine though.
- You are strongly encouraged to give your photos a meaningful title and description, this will help people find and understand your photo much better. You can do this from the "Edit details" button below each photo. An example title in this case could be "Two male lions sleeping, <location here>".
- If you know the full species name on the photo, you are expected to identify it using the "identify species" button to the right of the photo.
It takes some getting used to, but it's easy to do and you'll see that your photos will be much better appreciated, and much better found.
This photo is awesome by the way. Do let us know in case you have any questions, we're here to help. Posted 10 years ago
