This is a picture of me with my camera. Im 15 years old and I love taking pictures. My camera means so much to me. I look at the world from behind a camera lense. I see the beauty in things because of photography. Im able to look at a situation and say, 'wow! look at that lighting!' or 'what great composition'. So in a way, Photography and art is not just a hobby, but a way of looking at the world. Photo taken by Mary Cole (Estados Unidos) - Artistic/Creative

This is so special to me because these are my grandaughters. The picture was taken at a tournament in Canton MI last summer. Special meaning is that they are 5 mos. apart in age & are both very competetive on the soccer field but continue to encouage each other all the way. It's the NATURE of life..on a sports field, in the work place, some days the conditions are different but, it is the nature of life..rain or shine :-) Photo taken by Annielee (Estados Unidos) - Nature

I loved how the sun behind Face Rock (see the forehead, nose, open mouth, and chin) formed a perfect halo around this lonely woman of the sea. It was such a cold night that, by the time we made our way back to the car, my husband and I could barely close our fingers into fists, but the colorful sunset was more than worth the trip!
