This picture is special to me because this is a "Kodak Moment" with me and my teammate during a hard football game. It also shows the friendship between me and my friend. This took place in Fort Myers, Florida. Photo taken by Jarrett Mundle (Estados Unidos) - People/Family/Friends

To me, this photograph conveys freedom. Fear lost; the attempt at, and short lived duration of, flight; the extension of the woman's form as if she is an extension of the cliff, as if an extension of, and intertwined with, nature. Taken at Presque Isle, Marquette, Michigan, August 2005. By theme I assume you mean category: Artistic in timing and presentation. I find it more "emotive", this is the closest category.

I never understood why when the Groundhog sees it's shadow it means 6 more weeks of winter - I thought it is a harbinger of spring if the sun is shining. Oh well. For this shot, I cut a hole in my foamboard, and rested it on 2 chairs. Tripod mounted, manual focused camera on a 10 second timer let me get into position. I took many shots - it was hard to get details correct. My eyes would look wierd or my fingers wouldn't be positioned nicely or something else would be wrong. I needed to do some perspective correction in this final version because I had pulled too much on the board, bending my "horizon". Photo taken by David S. April (Estados Unidos) - Artistic/Creative

I like the simplicity of the mother/son motif. It seems to always work. Photo taken by Damon Fernandes (Estados Unidos) - People/Family/Friends

This picture was taken in August 2005, at Assateague State Park in Virginia Maryland. Wild horses roam here on the beach and through the dunes. On this particular day we were surf fishing and these two horses walked a few feet away from us -- managing to clear the lines from our fishing poles while taking their walk near the shore. It was amazing. Photo taken by Tara Lynch (Estados Unidos) - Animals/Pets

This picture captures the innocence of this little girl waiting for her Mum. Taken in Tehran, Iran. Photo taken by Majid Fekri (Irán) - People/Family/Friends

This shot is special to me because I when I took it I was still learning the basics of photography, well, I'm still learning! So I guess you could say, it's one of my first photographic successes. I was trying to learn more about long exposures when I took this shot, which as you can see, is what I used here to create the light trails coming out of the boots. The shot was taken in my kitchen with no other lighting than the green you see, and a fill flash at the end of the shot. I feel that it's a perfect fit for the humor theme as I would hope no one would have fluorescent green "stink" coming out of their shoes! Photo taken by Steve Arnoldus (Estados Unidos) - Humor

I was on vacation in NYC mid-October 2005, and was unlucky to be there during what must have been NYC's rainiest week ever. Still, rain did not prevent me from taking pictures, like this snapshot of an ad across 5th Avenue. Photo taken by Nicolas Eertmans (Bélgica) - Travel/Vacation

Just happened to notice the reflection in the glass... Photo taken by Steven Shpall (Estados Unidos) - People/Family/Friends

After a great deal of discussion, my good friend Kyle convinced me to take my camera on the mountain. This was one of the first shots I took of him in the park. Just remindes me that a great picture can be taken anywhere and with anything... but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take! Taken at Mt. Hood Meadows in Oregon, December, 2005.

This is a picture of a friend's baby that I photographed. I seem to specialize in sleeping babies as you can pretty much pose them anyway you please!!! Photo taken by Margot Petrowski (Estados Unidos) - People/Family/Friends

The jellyfish is one of the perils of swimming in our oceans but here it is harmless - it has lost its power to harm but remains a thing of beauty. Photo taken by Marianne Purdie (Australia) - Animals/Pets

I took this photo while I was in Malta for holidays. Maltese people use to change the color of their door every year. Their doors are very colorful like this terrific blue one! Photo taken by Mata Patanè (Italia) - Travel/Vacation

This picture captures the emotion of a 15-year-old reaching for something only he believes in - that 15-year-old is me. Photo taken by Raymon Azcona (Estados Unidos) - People/Family/Friends

I was waiting at the zoo for the longest time trying to catch a perfect shot of this polar bear - and then all of a sudden - it wiped its nose, and I caught this shot in the nick of time! Every time I look at this photo I laugh. :) Photo taken by Melissa Zavadil (Estados Unidos) - Animals/Pets

I took this picture at our "old town." This man was staring at some point off in the distance, and it was the expression on his face that captured my attention. The wrinkles on his face - suggest that he is old. Photo taken by Abosh Zev (Israel) - People/Family/Friends
