I enjoy the bemused look this seagull seemed to have when it looked into the water an saw "another" seagull staring back at it. I took the picture on the waterfront just outside my home, on the shores of Lake Macquarie in NSW. The seagull is one of the many and varied water birds on the lake that I wander by daily. I feel very fortunate to live in a beautiful location that provides me with opportunities to take photos of the birds "up close and personal'" in their natural environment.

I am quite fond of this picture for two reasons. First, it reminds me of our vacation on Martha's Vineyard. And two, I like the contrast of the towels against the golden sand and blue sky. The people who owned these towels were kind enough to move for me so I could take this shot. Photo taken by Dolores Neilson (Vereinigte Staaten) - Travel/Vacation

It does not look like what it is... It's a picture of a Sunflower taken at night ! Photo taken by Karen Hurley (Vereinigte Staaten) - Nature

This photo shows a unique view looking straight up a construction sites caged ladder. The sharp lines and silhouette of the ladder contrast nicely with the vivid blue sky and clouds, invoking strong emotion from a typically uninteresting object.

In this picture, I managed to capture all 5 grandchildren together. Getting them all in one spot, and without posing, was great! Photo taken by Sam Venziano (Vereinigte Staaten) - Travel/Vacation

A favorite subject of mine, this was taken at Rye Playland in July 2003. I used a slow shutter speed and a tripod to capture the motion of the wheel. Photo taken by June Marie Sobrito (Vereinigte Staaten) - Artistic/Creative

This picture is special to be because it was taken at one of the times when you're not suppose to get great shots -- and it was the last exposure on the roll. It was taken in Zilker Park, which is in Austin, Texas, while I was a student. I had chosen to shoot in various park/gardens that day, and to focus on just flower/plants, and not the large scenes in the park. Photo taken by Loraine Corprew (Vereinigte Staaten) - Nature

This picture was taken at Buye Beach, in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Here's a man making a honest living selling beach toys. Very colorfull, but his age in making him stall. Even with a very slow pace, he continues to sell his goods. Photo taken by Jorge E. Pagan (Puerto Rico) - Travel/Vacation

Lake Crescent is very beautiful and this was one of those beautiful moments! Taken May 18, 2003 Photo taken by Kathy Cunningham (Vereinigte Staaten) - Nature

This was my son's first visit to a friend's farm. The texture of the hay was the perfect backdrop for my photograph, as well as a great source of amusement for Pierce. Photo taken by Rachel Baker-Taylor (Vereinigte Staaten) - People/Family/Friends

Photographed in a Vietnamese hardware shop, this image of paint pigments had both beautiful light and colours. Photo taken by Charles McKean (Australien) - Travel/Vacation

I took this photo in Paris last Christmas. I had recently moved to France, and my children came to visit during the holidays. It was unbelievably cold, and there was even snow! Pretty intense when you are from California. I think this photo captured the spirit of all of the artists who braved the weather. It was unposed -- and I caught just the right moment!

This picture was taken in May, and is special to me because I just love Infared shots, and because this is one of the places I love to swim at in the hot weather. The mill was erected by John McPherson on December 15, 1823, and still stands today! I wanted to shoot it in Infared to give it a dream like feel from years gone by. I used a Hoya R72 Infared filter, and a long shutter speed of 30 seconds to blur the water. I think it relates to the Artistic/Creative theme I selected because not too many people shoot in Infared, and I think it's a creative composition and technique.

This picture was shot using a Mamiya C220 TLR with a 135MM F/4.5 lens on Kodak Ektachrome film. It was taken at the Daniel Boone Homestead in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania. The scene was lit by light coming in from a large open door and a window on the opposite wall. Photo taken by Bob Fowler (Vereinigte Staaten) - Travel/Vacation

This is a picture of my 18 month old son, Roman. He's smelling flowers for the first time! Photo taken by Michelle Shillings (Vereinigte Staaten) - People/Family/Friends

This is my dog Jimmy. In this photo, he is quite suspicious of my activity. He is tired and doesn't really want to be bothered. I like taking wide angle close-ups of pets, it makes their noses look so cute! Photo taken by Ed Gauci (Vereinigte Staaten) - Animals/Pets

My grand daughter, Steph, is doing a 4H photography project -- and I've been shooting her, shooting pics. We were taking some sunset pictures, when I snapped this shot of her. Taken on Lake Pokegema, Pine City, MN, June 11,2003. Photo taken by Joan Soles (Vereinigte Staaten) - People/Family/Friends
