Punkin is a huge orange cat who, unfortunately, is not very smart. But what he lacks in brains, he makes up for in sweetness and curiosity. He was curious about the camera - and how could I resist taking a picture of this sweet face? Photo taken by Rob O'Donnell (United States) - Animals/Pets

I couldn't resist taking a picture of this precious baby while on a recent mission trip to Chimala, which is in Tanzania, Africa. We were visiting a Messai tribe deep in the bush.

Back in the 70's, while on my way to work each day, I would pass the place where Willie lived. One day I stopped -- and soon we became friends. I liked listening to his philosophy on life; and although we were only friends for a short time, Willie was one nice man. This picture was shot on Kodak Tri-X in the 70's, and scanned later, in the 90's. Photo taken by Peter A. Torres (United States) - People/Family/Friends

I was walking around at the annual Beaverdale fall parade in Des Moines, Iowa, when a friend grabbed me and said, "Make sure to get a picture of Allie in her new band uniform." She pointed out her daughter, and I crossed the street to get a better angle. All of a sudden, the conditions came together to make a photograph rather than a snapshot -- the V of the formation echoed the V pattern gold buttons on the uniform. The orange-red of the tunics screamed fall, and the soft autumn sunshine backlit the scene to give Allie a soft fall glow. I opened up to properly expose Allie's face in the backlit conditions, and I even got all the flutes standing at "attention"! Photo taken by David Speer (United States) - Holidays/Events
