Welcome to May at AnimalsPlantsNature!


Here is what you can expect to see from us this month:
  • Interviews with deviants who represent this category with beautiful artwork.
  • Features to showcase some of the category's best deviations.
  • Tutorials to help you create your own photography.
  • Oh... And a Feedback Frenzy! More details on that below.
We hope you're as excited for this as we are!

Participate in our Feedback Frenzy to Win Prizes!


We understand it can be difficult to get feedback on a website as large as DeviantArt! 

AnimalsPlantsNature group would like to help our nature photographers get some advice and so we're going to be offering this Feedback Frenzy event, now being shared with the awesome people over at PhotographyGuide too! And best news is... while the Feedback Frenzy offers real prizes, everyone receiving feedback is a winner :la:

How it Works

  • Deviants may submit only one APN photograph to the Feedback Frenzy folder, which is linked in a poll by AnimalsPlantsNature:
    • Your photograph must be submitted to ANY of the Animals, Plants, & Nature subcategories on DeviantArt. All other categories will be disqualified from the contest.
    • If you are sharing a thumbnail in our folder then you are saying it is ok for people to critique your art. Please be respectful of others' opinions on your work.

  • How to Enter the RAFFLE!
    • Feedback Frenzy artwork is located :star: HERE :star: or in the next section below.
    • You must leave feedback in the comments of the actual deviation. You can earn 1 entry per photograph.
    • You must link all of your feedback comments in THIS blog to enter! (click the timestamp on your feedback comment to get a direct link)
    • You can earn an as many entries as we have photographs so try commenting on everything for the best chance to win!

  • What is a qualifying feedback comment?
    • Thoughtful feedback. Your feedback should include what you like about the piece but it MUST include what you think the artist can improve on, in detail, regarding the piece. 
      For example,
      DON'T only say "this piece is great". It is not thoughtful feedback. 
      DO say "I like this piece, the subject is clearly defined; however, I believe the focus could be better since the subject is blurry while the background is more focused". This is considered thoughtful. 
                            *Please note that rude comments will not be granted an entry.
