This picture is special to me because it was taken on the last night of Channukah while my mother-in-law and brother-in-law were visiting. I took it in our dining room where we had the Menorah placed, and was leaning out of my chair and looking upwards towards the flames of the candles.

This is a picture of my house. I was playing around with BULB settings and hand held flash. I set the camera on a tripod by the fire hydrant which is on the corner -- and away I went. The "flames" were created using a flare on a pole with me walking around the porch. Fun to do! Photo taken by Greg Marcum (United States) - Artistic/Creative

This was taken after a ride on the London Eye at night. Instead of the typical angles to photograph, I decided to try something different and was impressed with the results. Photo taken by Paul Bennett (United Kingdom) - Travel/Vacation

It was the first snow of the season! My front porch was all covered in a blanket of white, and made the perfect backdrop for me to snap a few pictures of one of my favorite subjects -- Chelsea :-) Chelsea was born on September 24th of 2001. She is native to Long Island and was named in honor of New York. Photo taken by Judy Reinford (United States) - Animals/Pets

I like the lighting, the architecture of the Abbey and the perspective of this picture. Taken at Buckfast Abbey, Devon, UK in 2003. The Abbey is a favorite tourist attraction. Photo taken by Ray Young (United Kingdom) - Travel/Vacation

When you have family in other countries, you catch only snippets of their lives during brief visits to distant lands. I last saw Andriyko when he was a few days old. Now he's two. This image of him will be burned into my memory until I have the opportunity to visit Ukraine again someday. Photo taken by Vera Sytch (United States) - People/Family/Friends

An early winter morning: the moon was slowly setting in front, the sun rising behind my back, temperatures way below zero Celsius -- and getting the converter, long lens and tripod ready almost froze my fingers. Natural beauty can sometimes be very simple. The picture was taken February 2004 near my hometown. Photo taken by Wolfgang Dolak (Austria) - Nature

The leaf was floating in a bird bath which was sitting under a trellis in my back yard. This created beautiful geometric reflections. Photo taken by Terry Cervi (United States) - Artistic/Creative

While visiting a nearby orchard, I noticed these jars of honey lined up neatly. The light from a window was hitting them just right, reflecting natures bounty. Photo taken by Dean Rosenthal (United States) - Nature
