I couldn't resist taking a picture of this precious baby while on a recent mission trip to Chimala, which is in Tanzania, Africa. We were visiting a Messai tribe deep in the bush. The baby didn't even seem bothered by the fly in the corner of his eye, or the heat causing him to sweat. Photo taken by Debra Reymundo (Vereinigte Staaten) - People/Family/Friends

Punkin is a huge orange cat who, unfortunately, is not very smart. But what he lacks in brains, he makes up for in sweetness and curiosity. He was curious about the camera - and how could I resist taking a picture of this sweet face? Photo taken by Rob O'Donnell (Vereinigte Staaten) - Animals/Pets

Most cats like to sleep in the sun, but this cat is unique! Her favorite place to sleep is in this bowl. I think that she blends in well with the colors of the bowl. Photo taken by Patricia Wilson (Vereinigte Staaten) - Artistic/Creative

Eagle Cliff Falls, one of Mother Nature's well-kept secrets hidden in Havana Glen, just outside the town of Montour Falls, New York. After a few minutes hike along a well-defined trail, we stumbled upon a magnificent 300+ degree amphitheater like setting, with 100+ footwalls carved out of layers of rock. This 50 foot waterfall was flowing while many other Falls in the area had barely a trickle of water. The picture was taken with a tripod mounted KODAK DC4800 Digital Camera, using 3x Optical Zoom. The camera's Advanced Exposure Mode:Manual Shutter Speed feature made it possible to capture the awesome beauty of this waterfall, by manually setting the Shutter Speed to 1/4 second, with the Aperture set at F8. I used the DC4800's 3.1 MP Hi Compression image mode for a picture resolution of 2160 x 1440. Photo taken by Tim Hack (Vereinigte Staaten) - Nature

After capturing this georgeous sunset in the Adirondacks, I put it through various photo programs and played with it. I kept coming back to the single bubble effect.
