KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Sitting the bench...never looked so pretty! :) This is my daughter, Laurcy Belle.

Editor's Note: Enjoy today's International Picture of the Day selection!

This was an exercise in exposure and composition. I thought about adding some shadow for contrast but decided to stay true to the white on white concept.

This is our cat Motor ( named because he purrs so loud). He is our protector. He can run off even the biggest of dogs to keep his family safe. He was a stray that adopted us and has become a very special part of our family. At the time this picture was taken it was during the winter and he was warming himself on top of my van watching over us and keep us safe. He is such a lovable cat and our pride and joy!

It is really exciting to see the burners light up the balloons like they were giant lanterns. Taken Sept,2015 in Berea KY at the Berea Spoon Bread Festival

This is mom & son's first ever sunset on the beach. We had been to a secluded beach in Maharashtra where my son was amazed to see the sunset.

I like the comparison of soft and bright against a textured wooden background. Taken in behind a garden in Columbus Ohio in 2012. The nature and color of the flowers is always pleasing.

Anybody think she will be the future model?

Calm, still morning reflections of many boats parked at the marina are seen along the wharf of Lake Monroe located in Sanford, Florida.

I took this picture at my fathers farm. The ant is a Camponotus Cruentatus, one of the biggest species in Europe.

This is a friendly Ring Billed Gull who comes by for a visit.

I enjoy our hummingbirds in our back yard each year. This guy was headed straight for the flower we had planted in the spring hoping it would attract and feed them. They are quick and so not easy to capture, but perseverance paid off.

Memorial Day parade in Fall Church, Virginia.

This is Dwight Rogers. His family has been farming on Chandler Mountain Alabama for decades. As I spoke with him and captured his photo, I wanted to share this black and white photo of a wonderful spirit.

This picture was taken when I was on holiday last year December. My dad and I were going for a walk and his footsteps caught my attention. They remind me that even when I may be feeling lost, my sure-footed and confident dad will be there for me.

This picture is special to me because I love photography and I love my dog. but in this picture there is 2 things at ones which makes it such a good picture in my eyes. I took the picture last week when my dad got back from Afghanistan on R&R. Me, my mum, my dad, and Bruno (dog) went down to Cornwall for the week. It relates because its of my pet dog doing what he loves best.

It's a picture of my old man and my baby sister. Was taken out on our driveway two years ago with my Canonet Rangefinder. Love this picture, one of my favorite shots, captures a warm embrace from a loving, hard working father.

My name is Holly Rose Stones, I am 21 years old. I am a Fashion, Surrealist & Conceptual Photographer from South Yorkshire living in London. This image was taken for a musician friend of mine named Michael G Moore. The concept was derived from his personality of being an animal whilst creating music, hence the reason why he is sat in a very animalistic 'ape' like stance. The sheets were to represent the emotion of music, how it is unbelievable chaotic and can put anybody in a trance like state. I wanted to represent the power and passion that he has for music.

The long legged gangliness of a young Sandhill Crane is clearly evident as its walks tentatively across the street in a rural development.

Flamingo, Copenhagen Zoo.

Beauty of nature

This tiny, colorful clown was a joy to the residents that attended the circus-themed picnic event that I photographed in April at a nursing home. The residents were thrilled to interact with the clowns and to dress up and have their pictures taken with them. It is amazing to see how a clown can turn a frown around!

Peaceful day at Soco Falls in western North Carolina

Picture is special because I love to watch nature grow and see how beautiful things can be. It was taken first week of June 2016

This photo was taken a few weeks ago when visiting relatives in Canada. When we arrived I spotted the view of the muskoka chairs and the flag and thought it would make a good picture but the light wasn't right. Later after a large thunderstorm just as the sun was setting I went to try it and was quite pleased with the result.

I?m very happy with how the color and reflection work in this photo of an American Oystercatcher at Nickerson Beach on Long Island, New York.

Gracie is a riot...Tomboy...

I like the way the last rays fill the blossom. June 2016, Kentucky, USA

I took this picture while at my friends cottage this summer. I had been watching the monarch caterpillars eating for days and this was the first butterfly I had seen that year. It was so pretty and photo worthy.

A beautiful sunrise on new year's day 2016.

Melbourne FL 2015. Eye-catching seedpod caught in a sunbeam......

This was taken at sunrise at Haleakala in Maui in September 2012. It is special because it looks surreal. As the sun was coming up a Hawaiin chant was spoken that added a very spiritual quality to the experience.

In my back yard here in North Carolina, there are a few different kinds of dragonflies. I was amazed at this one letting me get so close to him. I was very careful and moved closer very slowly as I didn't want to scare him. Even if he flew off he would come right back. He didn't seem to mind me being there, so I was able to get close enough that his sectional eyes can be seen in the photo.

Photographed in Denmark a couple of years ago.

As we travel through life's journey, a quiet moment heals our soul and strength is found within us.

Ilfracombe Harbour, Devon, England. I liked the perspective of looking through the rusty iron to see the sea view.

After a rainy day, this vibrant flower stood out against the grey day.

I am an amateur photographer. I took this picture not knowing that it was the super moon.

Waiting for a new sunny day, during sunset on the beach of Westkapelle in Netherlands.

A shop for renting bicycles in El-Souk region in Siwa Oasis in Egypt.

A squirrel named Mary outside our window in her tree eating her daily peanuts. She is quite the character.

It's special to me because it shows my kids and me having fun at a carnival on a carosoul.

The first image of a sailboat I had ever shot with the evening sun in the picture. Image shot at Lake Hefner,OKC USA. Many people visit this lake to enjoy the outdoors.

My daughter in law took picture of Harley gazing over the fence looking at the horse across the road. Just a sweet expression that grandmothers all love.

I took this when I took my school trip to England. It is taken at the London Eye and it's an amazing attraction for tourists as myself.

San Pedro, Ca. has a park with a lovely park view of the ocean. This was a peek- a- boo of the ocean through a brick wall.
