Not sure if these images count I hope they do. I'm also not sure if they contain the Exif data you require perhaps you will let me know.
These photos were all taken at Wooburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire, England

Hello,
I can see the exif data from viewing the photos.
Thanks,
Barbara

Here's a shot taken on 1st July - a fox cub on a very hot day. This one is wild - he saw me almost immediately and evaporated but not before allowing me a moment to capture a few shots.
And a grass snake spotted crossing the lake at a local reserve - heavily cropped I'm afraid but still showing the gorgeous markings and aspect in the water.

It would be better to upload the photo from your computer. In the image code above you have placed a link. I deleted the other two posts which did not work for you.
Update: Another member as well as myself are getting a white screen when trying to add a photo to the site. The admin has been notified and the issue will be looked into. The deadline for this contest has been extended to August 15th. Thanks for your patience!
Thanks,
Barbara

I have another gentlemen who emailed me about not being able to add photos to the site. He is receiving a white screen and the site does not upload the photo. I also tried uploading a photo with the same issue. An email has been sent over to the admin on this.
So, the deadline for the July contest has been extended to August 15th, 2015. I will also add a note in the instructions above.

Dear Barbara - I am so sorry! I got carried away. I am not sure how to do it but would like to delete #12 bluebottle. Can I do it myself (if so, how?) or can you do this on my behalf. Many apologies. Julia
