----- Competition Twenty-Seven -----

I don’t know why, but we have so far avoided doing my favorite which is Nature Photography. So let’s do it. Let us see your best, soon to be award winning, Nature Photos.

They may be landscapes, macros, seascapes, birds, mammals, plants, insects, spiders, molds, fungi or anything else that creeps, crawls, walks, flies, flows, grows or orbits. As long as it was made in the wild by mother nature and not man. (I know some of you will hate me for it, but.....This Excludes pets . We'll do a theme in the future to let you introduce your pack of Irish-Poodle hounds.)

Submissions for this round of competition should be posted as discussion on THIS thread, and should a small sized photo as described in the INSTRUCTIONS.

Entries from your photostream will be accepted.

This competition will run for ONE WEEK from NOW to Oct 10th 2005.
And ONE entry per person please.

-----SLIDESHOW------
We will also have a slide show available for those who wish to participate. To be in the slide show please add the tag TC-Comp027 to your picture.

Mother Natures Ensemble
In my own opinion, i enjoyed the combinations of our Mother Natures for this favourite image.(Lightings from the sky+branches+green seawater for the reflections)...and a small touch of creativity from the software levelings ;-) Hope you like my creation of a "Mother Natures Ensemble"!~ cheers!
