Photo of the Month Contest

Each month I will select winning image(s) and post them on the front page and also on its own page along with information about the photographer, email link, web site link and a brief description of the image. This contest is open to anyone, amateurs or professionals, any age from anywhere in the world. In addition to being featured the winner will receive access to your choice of our online Photoshop course I or II - a $49 value.

The image should depict some aspect of nature, landscape, wildlife etc from anywhere in the world. The image can include signs of human activity e.g. fence, barn or even people, but please do not send environmental portraits of families or children. Floral, Fauna, landscape, weather, astronomy anything in the natural world. Send us your best image so we can show others and inspire them. You can enter as often as you like, but you can only win twice. Images taken of captive animals or animals in a zoo are OK, but you please specify whether the animal was captive or not, you can use photoshop or any other image editing program - if the image was manipulated that's OK, but please share with us what you did even if it involved combining several images. If the picture includes people that can be clearly identified please be sure you have their permission.

The contest starts on the first day of each month and ends a couple of days before the end of the month in order to include the pictures in our monthly newsletter. Good luck.
