Pale Male is a city dwelling Red Tailed Hawk. He is seen here with one of his chicks watching as his mate, Lola, returns to the Park Avenue nest he has occupied since 1991. This family of Red Tails have happily adapted to city life and are the darlings of a large following of non-feathered New York City residents.

I love nature, there's nothing more relaxing than being out in a rainforest, or somewhere similar, and listening to the wildlife. I took this picture in the Eungella State Forest in Central Queensland, Australia The Orange Eyed Tree Frog is quite common in these parts, I love the sometimes comical look you can capture on their faces and in their body language Photo taken by Lisa Den Elzen (Australien) - Nature

A closeup of the burners in my furnace. I thought they looked like a jet fighter or some kind of sci-fi hardware with the blue flames shooting out of the ends. I used my digital camera to capture the picture, and used NeatImage and lots of spot editting to clean up hot pixels and the noisy areas. Curve and Level adjustments brought additional details out of the shadows. Photo taken by David S. April (Vereinigte Staaten) - Artistic/Creative

This was a picture I took for a photography course at Bowling Green State University in Ohio -- it was a reflection assignment. To create the reflection, I held a Hollywood poster below her face to get the reflection in the glasses. Then I did a few touch ups with Photoshop and some cropping. I won an award for my class with this picture. Hope you enjoy! Photo taken by Melina Papantoniou (Vereinigte Staaten) - Travel/Vacation

Big horn rams on a mountain near Empire, Colorado posed for a portrait. I had to scramble up a mountainside to get close enough. They were calm and curious as long as I stayed below their position. This image was captured in May 2004. These animals love the mountain slopes of Colorado. Photo taken by Richard H. Hahn (Vereinigte Staaten) - Animals/Pets

I took this picture on a construction site near where I am living in China. I walk past this person everyday, and since I'm a foreigner they all stare at me. One day I took my camera and they were really amused. I like taking photos of the people on the streets -- and think I captured a good expression on this photo.

This picture is special to me because it reminds me of the trip my wife and I took to NYC for Christmas 2002. It also reminds me of the freedoms I am granted and the rights I have as a citizen of the United States of America. Photo taken by Matthew Upton (Vereinigte Staaten) - Travel/Vacation

I took this picture in the summer of 2002 while snorkling in Cancun, Mexico. The turtle got so close and stayed around me for a long time -- at one point I thought he was going to swim into me. I love the way the fish are catching a ride, and in return are cleaning the algae off the turtles shell. Photo taken by Glenn Marks (Vereinigtes Königreich) - Animals/Pets

I liked the strong colors of these Fire Station doors in red. Taken in Yonkers, New York, January 2005 -- my first photo taken in the New Year. Photo taken by Jeff Sanders (Vereinigte Staaten) - Artistic/Creative

This is the south branch of the Moose River, in NY's Adirondack Park near Old Forge, New York. The photo was taken in August 2004, but because it was shot in infrared, the leaves appear white like snow. Photo taken by Andy Williams (Vereinigte Staaten) - Travel/Vacation

A beautiful afternoon playing with my daughter... I took this picture impulsively when the light was shining through the living room window. Photo taken by Andree-Anne Sauve (Kanada) - People/Family/Friends

I caught this picture while my kids were feeding the swans at Round Pond, August 2004. The pond is in front of Kensington Palace in London. Their necks formed a perfect heart for Valentine's day. I couldn't believe I caught them at just the perfect moment. Photo taken by Cindy Laughrea (Vereinigte Staaten) - Animals/Pets

I really like this image because it's a drama about a small tree. What usually lives on a mountain, lives here between two buildings. Only the painted wall gives the tree its everyday needs. Yellow is the light, blue is the water, and the grey of the sidewalk is the soil. Cruel isn't it? Photo taken by Dan Samoila (Rumänien) - Artistic/Creative

The picture was taken using my Kodak LS443 in Jan 2004, during the Chinese New Year at the Tien Hou Temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I like the colour of this photo. Photo taken by Engchoon Lee (Malaysia) - Travel/Vacation
