This is a picture of my oldest son who just started high school. The picture was taken at his very first freshmen football game. The composition of the photo makes him look so proud and mature as he, without knowing, is turning into a man right before my eyes.

I came across this tree while looking for a fruit stand in the area and thought, ...this is a great area and candidate for an IR shot in the right atmosphere. On a clear summer late afternoon, I went back and set up my tripod and remote in the middle of the road and took several images. The tree acts as a anchor to the image so the speeding car gives it a more dynamic appeal. Digital camera settings: f/2.2 1/5 sec (equv) 24mm ISO 64 - B+W 93 IR filter with ND1.6 filter. Shot in nightmode. Photo taken by Christopher Davis (United States) - Nature

Collegedale, TN. This statue of a WWII Veteran sits on a bench at the entrance to a new Veteran's Memorial in Collegedale, TN. The park has a Blackhawk, a Sherman Tank, and other military artifacts. There is something about this old vet that speaks to my heart - and to me, he represents all that is good about America. I wanted to capture his medals, so I mounted my camera on a tripot and shot from a low angle. Photo taken by Daniel Kays (United States) - People/Family/Friends

The communities in our small valley in Northern Utah have a traditional where each has a town celebration during the summer. After the parade in one town, I came upon this old veteran walking home. He walked the entire parade route as the flag bearer. Someone told me he was in his 80's and has been the flag bearer, always walking, for years.

This is my precious 7 month old baby girl, Sullivan, at the pumpkin patch for her first Halloween. I love this picture because she is beginning her curiosity phase, and is trying to figure out what everything is by examining it. She was checking out these baby pumpkins real hard.

I came across this little guy while I was walking on the beach. I couldn't resist taking this photo as he was only a couple of feet away. I wish I could have captured the expression on his face when he woke up. I'm not sure who was more startled -him or me. Photo taken by Lisa Gibson (United States) - Animals/Pets
