I saw this wall when driving in Massachusetts, USA. I really loved the colors and pattern on thewall, especially because I was doing an essay for a course about "slash of colors." I wanted to give it try, when just in time - this guy walks by with a red shirt and completed the shot! With the colors and patterns, I think it fits very well into the Artistic/Creative category.

This is a picture of my daughter taken the day before Halloween in her costume. What I love about this picture is it just captures her. She has so much love and it shows. Photo taken by Elizabeth Pellette (United States) - People/Family/Friends

I like this picture because for me it shows the wild side of my lovely pet, and because this angle and framing created a strong picture. I took it during a lazy afternoon a few months ago, when I was trying to get good shots of my cat. It was very difficult to take this one, because I had to stay really close of him with my bulky camera, and he was getting annoyed with that. After some unsuccessfull attempts I finally got it the way I wanted, and I guess I was able to show the beauty and wildness of the cats. Photo taken by Renata Souza (Brazil) - Animals/Pets

The colors truly reminds me of spring. The photo was taken last weekend on a recent trip to Skagitt Valley just north of Seattle. The point of view, in my opinion, is unique and the vibrance and saturation of the colors are wonderful and extremely pleasing to the eye. Photo taken by Rikki D. Dy-Liacco (United States) - Nature

This started as a rather mundane zoo shot of 2 zebras standing next to one another captured at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. I thought at first it was nothing more than a snapshot until I cropped it down and saw the beauty of the abstract patterns of the zebra striping and the way the foreground zebra's back line nicely divided the frame.

My hobby is amphibians. I enjoy studying and photographing frogs. This was taken 2 years ago in my terrarium. It is the humorous position of the frog and the expression that makes it humorous. Photo taken by Ken Deitcher (United States) - Humor

This picture is special because it not only represents the Vietnam War, but is for all soldiers-especially those still fighting for our freedom. It is a reminder that we should say thank you to all soldiers since they are someones son/daughter, family or friend - and they risk their lives for us daily.
