Do you ever wonder what would happen if you tried to hold a race with two year olds? Lets just say it can take longer than you would expect. This was taken in July 2004 at our local "Fun Run." My little boy and his buddy were "racing" in the two and under group. Everyone is a winner in this race. Photo taken by Janice Forrest (United States) - People/Family/Friends

I took this photo while I was visiting Palm Springs, California. These wind-mills in the sunset looked surreal. The sounds that they made, made me think I was on a different planet. Photo taken by Gunther Allen (United States) - Travel/Vacation

I was on vacation in Venice this past January, and this was our first day. We got on the vaporetto, which is kind of a cross town bus Venice-style, and as soon as we took off this dense fog rolled in. I thought the fog created an incredible sense of depth, and I moved to the front of the boat and starting taking pictures. This is one of my favorites from that vaporetto ride.

The spirit of the new Vietnam is seen everywhere in the faces of entrepreneurial workers making a living in the private cash economy, such as this woman who ferries both locals and tourists on the Mekong River. Photo taken by Alan Tobey (United States) - Travel/Vacation

Being always around (and often underfoot), my cats are among my most frequent models. All three are highly photogenic, and most cooperative, often striking elegant or amusing poses for the camera. Photo taken by Mary-Ella Keith (United States) - Animals/Pets

This picture (Art Lover) is special to me because it shows that even the dog could appreciate artwork. I took this candid shoot in the Sacre Coeur area of Paris. If you look close, you can see that the dog is actually staring at the cat prints in the shop. Photo taken by Abdul Kadir Audah (Germany) - Humor

I took this picture of my daughter at a pottery class my son was taking. She stood against this green wall and just looked at me with a pensive stare. The green wall and her eyes made a good picture. She always takes good pictures when she is just thinking and staring. Photo taken by Wilson Velez (United States) - People/Family/Friends

I shot this picture in my back yard. I love insect pictures ;-) Photo taken by Stefanescu Andrei (Romania) - Nature

I took this picture at the 02' Tour De France at Les Deux Alpe while we were on vacation. This picture is special to me because you can see how exhausted the rider is and how focused the rider is on getting the drink. The rider is on the last climb of the day after being in the saddle for six hours Photo taken by Scott Steward (United States) - Travel/Vacation

This picture was taken on a beautiful evening and the weather was excellent. I think the long wait to capture the Golden Gate at dusk paid off. Photo taken by Radha Krishnan (United States) - Travel/Vacation

Taken Jan 2004 in Omaha Texas, this is the Union Pacific Challenger on it's journey to the Super Bowl. Impression emerging from a fog. I wasn't pleased with the weather (ipooring rain, fog, etc.) however the resulting photo was incredible. An example of why you should snap away as you never know what you might get. It represents the art of American manufacturing, percerverance, and the their repective power. More important what does it mean to you? Photo taken by Kyle Farris (United States) - Artistic/Creative

The most important thing in my life is my three-year old baby boy. One afternoon, I went to the beach with him. This "shooting" took place in Luquillo, Puerto Rico. I began to take pictures of him. And suddenly I was amazed because I captured through the camera lens ... the great interaction between the island's beautiful nature and my baby. This is my favorite picture because when people see it ...they can understand why my baby is the sunflower of my life. Enjoy! Photo taken by Crystal Tello (Puerto Rico) - Artistic/Creative

None of my relatives wanted to come with me to watch that I would not be stepped on while I am flat on the ground taking the picture (They were too shy). Insulted to the dept of my bones I had no other choice but to go there all alone at night. The tower is one of the two "Izraeli" Towers located in Tel Aviv. A real work of art that honors the city of Tel Aviv and "put it on the map". Photo taken by Amiram N. Plesser (Israel) - Artistic/Creative

I shot this picture near the beach of Herzelia City. The girls standing position looks like a part of the statue and composition is beutiful. You don`t see a pose like this everyday. Photo taken by Nir Friedman (Israel) - Artistic/Creative
