  • Thank you to everyone who voted for me it means a lot coming from such a community as this. My name is Kevin Blair, I shot this Painted Lady as it was feeding on an Indian Paintbrush in Bristow, Oklahoma. I used a Nikon D40x with a Tamron 70 - 300mm lens. I put the camera on Shutter Priority and kept playing around with the shutter speed until I got what I wanted. As far as post processing goes. I used Photoshop Elements 5.0 played with the contrast and brightened it up until it looked right.

  • Thanks so much to everyone who voted for my image. My name is Kris Montgomery, and I live in Melbourne, Australia. This shot, an early morning view of Mt. Cook from Lake Matheson, was taken whilst on holiday in New Zealand in January 2011. 3-exposure HDR merged in Photomatix Pro 4.1, with finishing touches done in Photoshop CS5. Original exposures were taken with a Nikon D90 and Nikkor 18-55mm lens @ 32mm, f10, ISO 200, varied shutter speeds.

  • Thanks All, My name is Kevin Hertle, i am a young photographer from upstate NY but this Picture was taken on Shelter Island with a Nikon D5000 and an 18-55mm lens.

  • This Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) was found in the well landscaped Lilly Pound in Epcot's Word Showcase China. I spent hours photographing the Pound and Frogs that lived within this Water Lilly paradise. The Bullfrog is found through--out central Florida in ponds, lakes and slow-moving streams. The photo is untouched with a slight crop.Thanks for the honor Elizabeth Yureklier DiRosa.

    • Thank you each for the support. My Name is Sherry Bell, Teton NP, I wanted to capture the Tetons reflecting in Jackson Lake at sunset. Disappointment, the skies were smoke filled a fire was burning 200 miles away. Walked the long walk to the point I wanted to shoot from and hoped the cool evening air would bring the smoke down to the ground. I waited and then the smoky sky started to take on colors growing more intense the lower the sun went. Canon 7D, 17-40mm Lens, GND filter,
