About The Human: In its natural environment [a study]

Hunting, gathering, mating... doing stuff. An objective look at the human animal.

The idea of this group is to have a collection of striking photographs illustrating the diversity of the human in its 'natural' environment. I don't want 'just' portraits; I want photographs of people.. The location of the photograph is as important as the person in it. People doing what people do, where they do it.

For the purposes of this group, the Humans' 'natural' environment is slightly ironic in that it should, at least in part, be 'man made' or be a place where humans gravitate to in large numbers: and therefore the humans themselves become the surrounding environment. Any photographs, however beautiful, not displaying any obvious human intervention will not be accepted into the pool. Don't be offended if any of your photos are not accepted, it just means that they don't fit this groups criteria.

There is no limit as to how many photographs you can submit, but so that we get a broad eclectic mix, no more than 3 in a row will be accepted.

Please refer to the guidelines below and consult the rules if you are unsure whether your photographs fit the criteria of the group:

The Human should be the main subject and be clearly defined.
The environment should be apparent and complement the Human.
The environment should determine the Human's situation, contribute to the overall image, but not dominate it.
Original photographs only.

This group is for quality photographs only. The idea of this group is to be observational.

NO:
fake blur
selective toning
HDR [unless it's realistic and I can't tell!]
flash boarders, signatures or any other adormnent
Live gig shots

Please don't be shy if you wish to join this group.
