About Nature and Nothing Else (Post 1 - Award 3) - No Flowers!

This group is dedicated to photos of nature only. That means NO closeups of flowers, no livestock, no pets, no still-lifes, just pure untouched landscape and wildlife. There are really great photos of nature from really great photographers and they should have a chance to be seen by all. Share your best nature photos for the Flickr community to see.
Rules:

1. For each photo you submit to the pool, please Award 3 other photos already in the pool.

2. No nudity, blurred, severely digitally altered photos allowed.

3. You can only post up to (2) image(s) in the pool per day.

4. Members who have had an image invited to the group are free to invite other members or photos to the group.

5. Please post your best work only. Work that follows the theme of this group, images of nature.

6. DO NOT post flowers, domestic plants, domestic animals, including pets, or livestock or macros of any of these. All of these items should NOT be the subject of a photo in this group. The ONLY exception to posting flowers is if there is another subject than the flower. A butterfly, a bee, hummingbird, etc.

7. Unnatural and artificial elements in a photo such as buildings, cityscapes, houses, bridges or any other man-made structure or object should only consist of less than 25% of the composition and is not the subject of the photo.

8. Photos with people in them must follow the same rules as Unnatural and artificial elements. No more than 25% and not the subject of the photo
