It's the symbol of hope in prayer, of meditation with purpose, and reverent rememberance. This was taken inside the spanish mission San Jose in San Antonio, TX. Generations have prayed in this place, and capturing the glow of these candles - collectively lit seems to express the reflection from each heart in which it was given.

My son and I were spending the day together taking some pictures along a back road in the direction of Sequoia Nat'l Forest, when we came upon a small ranch with horses... When we approached the horses, he startled all but one and this horse came right up to him and allowed him to pet him. I took a few pictures hoping to capture the special moment.

This horse has a great personality. He even smiles for the camera! Photo taken by Cathy Gromball (Canada) - Animals/Pets

I took this picture while my husband and I were spending a couple of days in New York recently. It was my first visit to New York since I was about 16, when I once spent one or two days there. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning for a slightly longer visit in the new year. Photo taken by Gerda Grice (Canada) - Travel/Vacation

Cuando vi la escena, no pude evitar tomar mi camara y tomar la foto. Justo despues descubri que la gente por fin noto que un se�or pedia limosna . . . . . . . . Editor's Translation . . . . . . . When I saw the scene I could not help, but take a picture. Soon after that, I realized that it took people a while to notice that there was a man asking for money.

This is my good friend Paul -- he's an incredible rider. I took this image of him as I was standing on the landing ramp and he was coming in. I positioned him in the clouds so the formation was coming from behind. I thought it gave it a neat effect. Photo taken by Melissa Zavadil (United States) - People/Family/Friends

I went to see the Lunar New Year's Festival in China Town in Philadelphia. While waiting for the dragons to arrive, I took several shots of the people waiting and walking around the area. This is one of them. The child's hat caught my eye and I turned around and managed to get one shot and it turned okay. Happy Year of the Pig!

This picture was taken at the San Francisco Zoo one Saturday afternoon. As I looked through the viewfinder, I saw the look on this great male silverback gorilla. His name is OJ and he's been at the zoo since he was a baby. He has never known any other place except for this but somehow I feel that he longs for home. I got so sad looking at his eyes. Needless to say, this strong aplha male gorilla touched my heart in more ways than one. Photo taken by Rikki Dy-Liacco (United States) - Animals/Pets

My son Heath, was genuinely proud of the names he was reading on the Vietnam Wall. By his feet, someone had just left the flowers for their family. It was touching. Photo taken by Jody Cooper (United States) - Travel/Vacation

I love California poppies! This particular image, to me, gets close to showing the essense of a California poppy, their beautiful colour, their delicate shape. These poppies are also a sure sign of Summer, thus the title. The image was made in late June of 2006, indoors, by a sunny window, in Trail, British Columbia, Canada. As for how it relates to the "Artistic/Creative" category, it is, simply, an ordinary little flower presented in all it's beauty. Photo taken by Ursula I Abresch (Canada) - Artistic/Creative
