Panther Morph Cross Discrimination

[alexbrock]

If a panther cross was to be submitted into a photo contest, would it be looked down upon? Is this even worth discussing? Not sure.

I don't think it would be discriminated against at all! The photo contest is about the photos, not about purity of bloodlines! People on here try to discourage people from breeding crosses for various reasons (this is NOT to start another discussion about it!!), but people don't think of them as "lesser" animals or anything. Some of them are quite beautiful!

Olimpia got second place in the last contest and hers is a cross, I believe??? I would have voted for her photo but I thought the point of focus was not where it appealed to me the best. Sorry, Olimpia Definitely a beautiful animal though. I dont think anyone discriminates the animals themselves even if they do not believe in creating them.

think of it like dogs, purebreds and mixes, i'd personally would never own a purebred but some people like that

cool beans. I was sure they had been entered before but wasn't sure if anyone actually noticed/knew they were morphs. Some are very obvious, while others not so much.

I did indeed, the chameleon I submitted is what I suspect to be a cross and he did very well anyway. It's ok, no offense taken! I don't think people really care that much about it in the context of the photo contest. It's all in good fun, even if some people take the contest way to seriously and personally.

love his color

My panther chameleon is a cross and he is very beautiful. I am going to enter him next month. They don't care about purity as much as health, point of focus, positive and negative space, quality of the photo, and if there are noticeably man made objects.

That's a beautiful picture, btw! His colors are amazing.

As a newbie you should have 1 for locale and one for crosses.

huh????

2 categories ie one for each locale best anbanji, best sambava etcc.. and a general winner.

 

[alexbrock]

didn't quite understand what is being said here

 

[Dawniegirl]

I think that Morph/crosses are stunning & make for the most beautiful photos. I favor them and the ambanjas even though my guy is an ambilobe... although he is my favorite cham

That would make way too many contests. Have you put into thought how many species and locales are out there lol

Well it would make less commonly kept chameleons a shoe-in for their 'subsection!'
