I am quite fond of this picture for two reasons. First, it reminds me of our vacation on Martha's Vineyard. And two, I like the contrast of the towels against the golden sand and blue sky. The people who owned these towels were kind enough to move for me so I could take this shot. Photo taken by Dolores Neilson (United States) - Travel/Vacation

I enjoy the bemused look this seagull seemed to have when it looked into the water an saw "another" seagull staring back at it. I took the picture on the waterfront just outside my home, on the shores of Lake Macquarie in NSW. The seagull is one of the many and varied water birds on the lake that I wander by daily. I feel very fortunate to live in a beautiful location that provides me with opportunities to take photos of the birds "up close and personal'" in their natural environment.

I took my son Danial to the park nearby our house in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia in the morning with my camera along. I was playing 'hide and seek' with him while trying to shoot at the best angle.

I like this shot because of the spontaneity, and its frame which was made by a stone bench at the park. Photo taken by Mat Zain Abdullah (Malaysia) - People/Family/Friends
