Shot on the Shenandoah river on a warm summer day. This image takes me back to my boyhood when I spent many a happy hour with a fishing pole in my hand. Photo taken by Bill Jonscher (États-Unis) - People/Family/Friends

This was taken while I was on a nature hike. I passed by a clearing dotted by bushes and grass — the wind moved them ever so slightly, and my eye picked up a flash of red. I looked closer, and snap! Photo taken by Aryeh Levine (États-Unis) - Nature

Near Kennett Square, PA there were two big field of sunflowers ... 22 acres and more than 460,000 plants! The best part of my day was the people that were smiling, talking to everyone and at peace in the sunflower field! Photo taken by Teri Moyer (États-Unis) - Nature

I liked taking this photo because the butterfly did not mind me crouching down to take his picture. I love the colors of the butterfly against the clear blue sky - it is nature at its finest! Taken in July 2010 in my back yard in Texas. Photo taken by Gaby Ethington (États-Unis) - Nature

I took this photo in my backyard in May 2010 using a Canon 100mm macro lens. I used a flash to light the spider. Photo taken by Richard Cox (États-Unis) - Nature

It's wonderful what happens when different elements of nature combine to create beautiful images. I loved the way these early morning dew drops are captured by the spiders web and the soft morning rays of the sun. I captured this image while on an early morning walk near a dam in South Africa.

This was taken in the wild on a cloudy afternoon near a waterfall in Kerala, India. The smallest one in the picture was being bullied by a group of mischief mongers - and immediately the mother, father and another elder monkey came to its rescue. The tiny tot then hugged it's mother and felt relieved. This picture show intense family bondage seen within monkey's, the closest beings to humans.

This picture is special for me because it makes me feel relaxed, and it makes a nice contrast between the water and the jungle. I took it in Palenque, Mexico last August.

The picture is related with the theme "nature" because when you see it, the first thing you think about is nature. Photo taken by Angel Niño de Rivera (Mexique) - Nature

Our baby Basilisk lizards hatched out yesterday. This is a photo of one of them peeking out on the world. He looks like a baby dinosaur. So amazing to watch them be born. Photo taken by Courtney Tomisek (États-Unis) - Animals/Pets

While taking this picture I could see the butterfly's head tilting left and right as it observed me observing it. You really get a sense of personality in even the smallest creatures when you are shooting macro. Photo taken by Randy Brogen (États-Unis) - Nature
