My husband and I woke up early enough to get ready and drive to Lancaster, CA by 6:00 a.m. to watch the hot air balloons get filled and launched. I've always wanted a chance to see hot air balloons in person. Watching the people at work (play), hearing the special new sounds and seeing the HUGE colorful ballons . . . I was certainly not disappointed! Photo taken by Helaine Cummins (Estados Unidos) - Holidays/Events

This photo was taken at our local elemetary school. Our town was suffering through a heatwave and drought at the time, yet these magnificant sunflowers that lined the parking lot leading to the school were standing tall and proud to welcome the children back to school.

This is our little lake in our backyard. In the Fall and Spring at sunrise, I have the opportunity to see scenes like this. I took this in April 2007 while leaving for work, literally stopped my truck in the middle of the road and grabbed my camera. I took about 8 shots. When I started shooting these two Canadian Geese joined the scene, and I kept saying to myself, "please don't swim too fast...slow down, good, etc." Timing is everything...

I was on vacation in Rome and the man in this photo looked out of his hotel window right as I snapped this picture.

In the country along the backroads is this barn. I love the way the road winds just a bit. I added the cat for a fun twist and desaturated most of the colors but the yellows and a bit of the green. Taken in: Moscow, PA Photo taken by Michelle Lee Jenkins (Estados Unidos) - Artistic/Creative

I took this picture for a photography challenge. The challenge was a self portrait. I just took some dirt from the backyard, mixed water with it, and smeared it all over my face. The picture is special to me because it is the first image that I had printed and framed. My parents have it in their house. Photo taken by Charles Cook (Estados Unidos) - People/Family/Friends

I was visiting NYC for a meeting and had some time before it, so I went to the top of Rockefeller Center to see the view and shoot some pictures. It was late in the day, very cold and cloudy, and then this incredible sunset unfolded. I stayed for the whole sunset exposed to the elements--my fingers were numb when I finally went inside (and I was wearing gloves!)! Photo taken by Neil R. Shapiro (Estados Unidos) - Travel/Vacation

This is my daughters picture. It was taken in the evening in the backyard of my house. The mood of my daughter is so nice, and the evening sun was a great help in creating this picture. Photo taken by Kothapalli Kalyan (Estados Unidos) - People/Family/Friends

This is taken inside a building in downtown Copenhagen in March 2007. I have tried to shoot there before, but there were some spotlights in the way, so it was very difficult. I did wish that I had a wider lens than my 24-85mm as that would have made it possible for me to catch all the balconies, but as this is my widest lens, I had to improvise and thus this rather creative and artistic angle.
