I took this picture while some friends and I were shopping in the Hamptons, Long Island this last summer. Although the shop had some great things, I found this guy named Kiwi to be much more interesing and extremely photogenic. This is one of the shop owners beloved pets and he obviously loves the customers just as much. Even the ones that stick cameras in his face. He posed for so many and it was hard to pick just one to send. I like this shot because it makes me smile and I hope it does the same for you. Photo taken by R.L.

The two faces of these binoculars are at a point overlooking Lake George. They remind me of pokerfaces of two diplomats getting together for "The Summit." Photo taken by Helmut J. Albrecht (United States) - Artistic/Creative

This is a picture of my beautiful two and a half year old daughter. She actually stood still and posed for me -- which in itself -- is a miracle :-) Photo taken by Victoria Fadden (United States) - People/Family/Friends

I took this over Memorial Day Weekend '04. What a humbling sight of our founding fathers. Their determination and vison for America is what has kept America the longest running democracy in the world. One of the great historical places to visit in all of America.

I like the American look... :-) Photo taken by Evy Johansen (Denmark) - Humor

I was on a regular daywalk when I saw this ol' sheperd and his goat. I love this photo because of the smile and 'cause both were looking at the camera in the same way :) Photo taken by Edin Dzeko (Bosnia & Herzegovina) - People/Family/Friends

The late afternoon sun provided the perfect backlighting for this photo, making the dragonfly appear to glow. I also liked the lens flare in the top right and bottom left corners, which added to the feeling of intense light. Photo taken by Mary-Ella Keith (United States) - Nature

This is my best turtle shot! I came upon this adorable Green Turtle when I was scuba diving at Molasses Reef in Key Largo. Turtles can be very skiddish, but I approached him very slowly, and he let me move in for a really tight shot! Photo taken by Robyn Churchill (United States) - Animals/Pets

I took the picture last November while travelling in Rwanda. Recently, the country has been remembered for the genocide which took place 10 years ago.

We were on vacation in Block Island, RI in August of 2003. Right after breakfast as I was walking though town, I came across a bike rental with all red bikes. So I snapped this photo of their well used wares. Photo taken by Janice Forrest (United States) - Travel/Vacation
