Indian women decorate their hands with Menhdi(Hena) during any festival or ceremony. This was taken in July 2009 during the rainy season (Sawan), and the ladies have decorated their hands to welcome rains.
I like design, patterns and colors of such Henna painting on the hands. After the Sawan Mahotsav was over, I requested my wife and her friends to pose for this shot. I am thankful to them for cooperating with me for this creative and artistic shot. Photo taken by Mukesh Srivastava (India) - Artistic/Creative

This is a foot bridge at the golf course in Ft. Dix New Jersey, taken in January 2009. I selected this photo because it represents crossing into the unknown. You can almost see what's on the other side, but not everything.
I selected the artistic/creative theme because of the perspective. Photo taken by Nicholas Phelps (Estados Unidos) - Artistic/Creative

This dilapidated barn photo was shot on a farm in near Dassel, MN in June 2009 during my lunch break at work. I feel the title is very fitting because the barn reminded me of a giant animal on its last legs just getting ready to lay down for the final time. The barn had a good life but the skeleton is all that remains. Photo taken by Wade McDonald (Estados Unidos) - Nature

This snapshot was taken at a local festival in Okinawa, Japan. After a local cultural group had performed, they moved down the street. All of a sudden this little tyke, who had been performing with them, notices that they've moved on without him. He comes running down the street shouting "wait" at the top of his lungs to the applause and laughter of the crowd. Photo taken by Henry C. Ortega (Japón) - People/Family/Friends

Winter in Northern Michigan can be harsh with lots of snow, cold and wind. In the woodland of our farm the trees cast undulating shadows across the creek bed. The sun make the fresh snow sparkle like diamonds. Photo taken by Dorothy A. Mills (Estados Unidos) - Nature
