I haven’t been active in the Photo Club for very long, but I think I’m right in saying that most of the photos are landscapes/nature, and within that, most feature animals. Now, most of the animals photographed are ones that usually live in our “home” environment—that is, animals we all more or less recognize. That’s usually no problem when it comes to songbirds or common animals like dogs, cats, mice, deer, stags, or foxes. But it gets a bit trickier with insects, amphibians, and so on.
My suggestion is to include the genus/species of the subject in the description whenever possible. Often, just a quick look and a search term (yes, maybe two or three) on Wikipedia is enough for anyone viewing the photo to know exactly what it is.

What do you think?Ich bin noch nicht lange hier im Photoclub aktiv, aber ich denke, ich liege richtig, wenn die meisten Aufnahmen LAndschaft / Natur und davon die meisten Tiere sind. Niun sind die meisten abgelichteten Tiere solche, die meistens in der "Heimat" ihr zu Hause haben, sprich es sind Tiere, die wir alle mehr oder weniger kennen. Das mag bei Singvögeln oder "Hund, Katze, Maus, Reh, Hirsch, Fuchs" kein Problem sein zu wissen, um was es sich handelt. Bei Insekten, Amphinien usw. wird das schon ein wenig komplizierter.
Meine Anregung ist in der Beschreibung die Gattung / Art des jeweiligen Motivs zu nennen, wenn man dazu in der Lage ist. Es reicht oft ein Blick und ein Suchbegriff (ja, oder auch zwei oder derei) in Wikipedia oder jemand der das Bild betrachtet, weiß um was es sich handelt.
Was meint ihr?
When you photograph animals.....When you photograph animals.....Wenn man Tiere fotografiert.....

For me personally, the name is secondary. What matters is that I can enjoy the image of the creature, no matter what it’s called.
