This picture was taken in our front yard -- and every time I look at it, it makes my heart melt. It's the sweet expression on Kyle's face, mixed with the hat and the whole ensemble. Photo taken by Tracey Bakewell (United States) - People/Family/Friends

As it sat on a table in the sun -- in a fun pumpkin patch in Temperance, MI -- I loved the shiny reflections that this piece of Indian corn gave! Photo taken by Cheryl Meisel (United States) - Artistic/Creative

Of all images I have captured, this one means the most to me. My beautiful Nana suffered a stroke this year, and even trial after trial, she never once has lost her wit. This entire ordeal has had a bright side, which I am positive she knows of. My father and I have grown closer making the trips together to see her -- finding how we fit into each other's lives, sharing our fears, and putting words to the love we have both always felt. Together with Nana, my family shares a love of laughing, making others laugh, and determination. While my children will never know Nana as I do, I hope to shine on them as warm as she glows in my heart. Photo taken by Jennifer Robin Hall (United States) - People/Family/Friends

This place is near the hospital where I work, in Messolongi, Greece. I took the picture, the Church of Holy Trinity, one afternoon in early May. Photo taken by Anastassios Datsis (Greece) - Nature

A friend and I were on a trip to northern Montana when we came across this scene. There was a solid cobalt blue sky that day, and when I saw the image after it was developed, it just didn't seem to go with the rest of the image. So . . . I replaced it with one from my file which I felt was a better fit than the original. My friend has since been confined to his home, and when I view the image now, I am reminded of happier times.

I took this picture in the Texas Hill Country with my digital camera. The sun was setting just behind the windmill and created a wonderful silhouette. Photo taken by David L. Runion (United States) - Nature

Although we ran into this by pure luck, this truly was an amazing site to see! We were on our way back from a trip to Yosemite National Park, when we saw this amazing display of nature--fog--and sunset. We just had to pull over and take in the view!

Shhh . . . do not interrupt! My baby is taking a bath in a tiny sink. : ) Photo taken by Allina Sojung Kim (Canada) - People/Family/Friends

This is my son Bernardo, waiting to be baptized this past September. At 1 year and 4 months old, he was tired of waiting -- and was longing to play with the birds in front of the church. Photo taken by Pedro De Luca (United States) - People/Family/Friends

This is the front view of the Leslie Hotel, an Art Deco masterpiece built in 1937 in Miami's South Beach. The cantilevered sunshades over the windows are a feature called "eyebrows" and are a distinctive Art Deco feature that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. This shot was taken just before dawn. I was thrilled with the exposure as the lighting and the colors bring out the details of the facade. Photo taken by David S.

I took this picture while visiting Brigus, Newfoundland this past July for the annual Brigus Blueberry Festival. I have a facination with lighthouses, and the sky was just amazing the day that I took this picture. Photo taken by Colleen A. Ryan (Canada) - Travel/Vacation

My son fell asleep on my bed. He looked so peaceful I had to the capture the pose with him holding his blanket. Times like these are so precious, I treasure them! Photo taken by Darcey Salwak (United States) - People/Family/Friends

We had just moved into our new home, and saw this. There was plenty of 'gold' foliage at the end of this rainbow! Photo taken by Eric Hatt (United States) - Nature

This is a picture of Grandma Ruth who is celebrating her 100th birthday on November 12th. This picture was taken when she was about 1 year old, and was the one used for an invitation to her 100th Birthday Party celebration. The party will bring together the entire family spanning 5 generations! Through the use of Digital Imaging, Kodak was able to restore the picture to nearly original quality. When I look at this picture, it makes me reflect on what she has seen in the course of her life -- from her first job as a "Hello Girl" at the post office, she saw the birth of the automobile, telephones, woman's rights; and a man on the moon . . . She is an extremely strong woman and her spirit for life serves as a role model for all! Photo taken by Submitted by Bruce Jones (United States) - People/Family/Friends

Stopping to take this picture at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, I was struck by how the reflective surface of the wall pulls you in, and makes you a part of the memorial itself. In doing so, it serves as a testament to the sacrifice of American Veterans, and makes them "more than a name on a wall." Photo taken by Thomas J. Hoehn (United States) - People/Family/Friends

While waiting for my niece's performance, which was to follow this one, I dutifully waited in hopes of getting some pictures to add to the family album. Before me appeared, as with each group prior, a line of young performers excitingly taking their places. Although glittery vinyl costumes brightened them like sunshine, that is not what caught my eye here. It was these four on the end of a line. Uniquely positioned, my eye was first drawn, only to be captivated by the conveyance of their own unique experience. I could only imagine the range of emotions and the thoughts that raced through their minds . . . while waiting for the first note to fall. Photo taken by Susan N. Martin (United States) - People/Family/Friends

This is one of our cats and his name is Stormy. He is camera-shy and the only time to photograph him is when he sleeps. It took quite a few minutes to get up this close without him leaving the area. Photo taken by Todd MacMillan (United States) - Animals/Pets

I really love the color of this flower. We brought it inside so we can enjoy the plant all winter. Photo taken by Joan Soles (United States) - Nature

Picture here -- the Aspens turning golden in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, this past September. Photo taken by Lisa Young (United States) - Nature

Aussie trekker marries sherpa -- and the result? A gorgeous little Nepalese 'princess' bedecked in pashima. This was taken at a recent family get together while her Nepalese grandmother was here for a visit. A special time for them both, and I feel the photo reflects the elegance and serenity that the subject has inherited from her equally beautiful grandmama.

This is a macro of two mushrooms in my garden. I love the colour which is enhanced by using a mini light box and not correcting the white balance to "redden" the image. Photo taken by JC Homola (United States) - Nature

Every boy, young and old, has that special car they dream about. The young ones, though, have the ability to make their dream a reality. Photo taken by David S. April (United States) - People/Family/Friends

Great close up of a horse, taken in Lake Oswego, Oregon -- using Kodak Gold 200 ISO film. Photo taken by Gordon Evans (United States) - Animals/Pets
