"No Borders Nor Boundaries" - Where Photographers get together

Theme Natural Beauty, closing date and time February 24th at 10pm GMT

Oh, thanks Terry ! I am extreme.y honoured ! :-)

Now I have to come up with a challenge, there's more to winning than a warm glow :-)

How about 'natural beauty'. It could be a person or something from the natural world, a landscape, any kind of animal from insect to elephant, anything natural. Whatever you like to shoot there should be scope for almost everyone to have a go :-)

I look forward to the pleasure and challenge of judging the entries.

Lets set the closing date and time as February 24th at 10pm GMT.

Have fun :-)

Steve :-)

Congrats on your win, Stephen, and what a fabulous challenge topic! This is where I feel at most home, and I love going out and "capturing nature's beauty"! Here are my two entries to start off this challenge. (Both are best viewed at full size.)

Entry #1: Jocko Falls Near Arlee, Montana--this is one of my favorite places to go and to shoot. I hope you like it, too!

Entry #2: Shooting Stars--I could spend a lifetime photographing these flowers and never tire of them! The essence of natural beauty.

Thanks Scott, you have cetainly set the bar high. For me there's just the right amount of blur in the water in your first shot and what gorgeous colours in the second. Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with :-)

Beautiful as usual Scott, do love that first shot, how fortunate you are to be able to capture that.

What a wonderful composition, Terry! Simple and elegant at the same time. I love the gentle curves and how they create the leading lines to take the viewer deep into this shot! And the way you included the little white flowers in the foreground is spot on!
