Good luck!
Additional Rules
Please resize your photos to 800x600 for display in the competition. JPG format only.
You are free to enhance your photos with the use of filters etc, though be warned excessive doctoring usually detracts from the original photo.
You may submit more than one photo if you desire, though it does need to be a minimum of 5 people, not 5 photo's for the prize to qualify.
Feel free to enter this competition whether you are a CG Arts artist, moderator, admin, or even if your entry is your first post here.
It is perfectly fine to enter with a photo taken on a mobile phone, a well composed grainy photo will beat a crystal clear photo of someones thumb.
Any questions feel free to ask.

Alright, I'll see what I can come up with, though the Dutch landscape is pretty boring, all flat with some trees and...cows here and there.
Will probably post something in the weekend.

That's the thing mate. What we see around us we all think is boring, but it really is the beauty of nature
So hopefully this comp will help people see more of the beauty that is already around them

This is the lake not far from my house. It was a bit hazy, but I thought it made it a pretty blue color.

Hi everybody,
I've just registered here at the suggestion of my dear friend Ms Kat (gentleD).
She's encouraged me to enter the following photo in your competition.
It was taken 20 minutes after sunset on Monday 31.8.2009 and is of a solitary fisherman way out on the reef at our most dangerous beach here in Perth, Western Australia.
Well here goes...;

This one I took in pennington flash, its the local sailing club. This particular group is dedicated to disabled sport. I thought it was kinda fantastic to see someone quite less abled than myself doing far more than I could ever do.

I totally forgot about this in the weekend so I just took some pictures while skating earlier this evening. My camera isn't very good and it was already getting dark so the quality isn't very good.

Wow, I had better go out and take a better one.

Hi Guys,
Here's "just a couple" more of the many pics i have of my BELOVED BEACH. This is my favorite spot to walk in all weathers. To share..., and then sometimes have all to myself, but for the spirits that love and protect me, and who never fail to recharge my batteries...!
And MANY THANKS to the Wonderful Ms Kat for resizing these for me...!

Well, I DID re-size those right, not sure why they are not showing up as the right size. Strange.

Nice pic, Cheeky
I can't win, but thought I might as well pop one in. It was taken in the North York Moors, which is a short drive from me. Unfortunately it was quite foggy that day.

Hi everybody,
I just have to say i love ALL the photos that have been posted so far.
I mostly love that they take me out of my world and share a little of yours.
Whenever I get an email telling me of an update, I SO hope that it's another photo (in preference to the comments such as this).
Thank again for sharing ALL...!

Okay, that is my second entry. It's my neighbors entrance to his property. I would love to rip that no trespassing sign off of the gate. Would that be considered trespassing?
Bravo, love your pic! That is the kind of weather we have been having lately, fog and rain.
