Natural wild life photography shall contain NO human elements or influence......
I think if a bird lands on your roof, its a wild life creature free, free to do what it does naturally as long as it hasn't been influenced by man.
If one puts out food to attract a bear, fox, bird to come around in to the back yard to get photographed, to me that's not wild life photography in the true sense.
Some Bee photographer's spray a little liquid sugar to attract the bees........
To me wild life is a free creature doing what it does naturally in a wild natural environment in a fully evolutionary manner.
Some of the international competitions spell out rules very clearly, but can be difficult to implement 100%.
The rules and criteria vary at times, but more often spell out, entries shall contain no human elements or influence......
That's Only an opinion
