JennyW: Hello Everyone! Just checking in to see if anyone wants to get this group going again! Hope all is well where ever you live! 2024-08-14, 08:21:59

Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Oldiesmann: So sorry for your loss Carol. Praying for you and your family :( 2022-05-01, 17:13:05

Carol: My husband Don is with the angels.....Our family was able to hold  ourselves together for the last moments.  Juar rhoufhr you might want to know. 2022-04-29, 23:35:15

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

Skyline Drive, VA was taken on Friday, March 20 while driving down the Skyline Drive south from Front Royal, VA.

What views we had!

But I don't see it.  If you need help, just put it in and I'll correct it.

I picked my choice of the best 5 of all the entries. Congratulations everyone for the beautiful photos.
Sorry, I was not able to join the excitement of competition. The cold and miserable weather
we have up here, where I live did not allow me to snap a fresh photo worthy of the challenge.

Happy Easter!!

Awwww...  Gabe, I sure wish I lived close to you and I would have driven you to take some photos of nature for this challenge.

Maybe next time we'll have a topic that will be suitable for you.

Study hard with your school work my friend.

Hi, There are many nice shots, But I think for the nicest, completed,and finished photo, I think it's "A Winter Walk".

If no on e minds, I'm going to put on my Professional Photographer's hat, and my Photo Professor's hat...:

Many of the entries have great elements to them, your eyes have perceived them, but for some, the element becomes the photograph, and I think that the element might be more roundly incorporated into a bit more of a developed image.  This may include more scenery, a foreground element to contrast with the faraway, or something to bring more depth or leading lines.

I have deliberately been vague about individual pics, Just to give ideas...   Pardon the overdose of smilies, my four year old is fascinated by them, so I give a few...

I voted too! Once again, it was difficult to narrow down to only five. There were a few others that I could have voted for just as easily.  :)

I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but I agree with your point, and would include Winter Wonderland in that category also. My only problem was that, since these were supposed to be restricted to "natural landscape" only, I wondered if, because the wooden walk in W. Walk and the red barn in W. Wonderland were "man made" creations, that necessarily caused them to be outside of the narrow parameters that were set for this contest?  :yes: :no:

Anyway, I won't say what my conclusion was, but I deem both of them worthy of framing and hanging on my wall (as were a few other entries)!  ^-^

They are all so good that it could be considered a crime to vote for only five, since a vote for some is a vote against others!  Wow! to all of them!

Sarge's photo didn't show at first.  There was a glitch and so he put it in again 'hoping it would work'.

Seems it has!  ;)

Well, this was a very difficult challenge to vote in--for me!

And to see the first and second place photos see-saw back and forth was certainly something!  I just think that that Winter Walk by fotobirder was also just a big winner too!  ;)

So, Sarge, we now await your Personal Message saying what the next challenge will be all about! 

Kind of exciting to think about, don't you all agree?

Congratulations to sarge and the other winners. :groupwave: :groupwave: I personally felt that His picture captured the theme of the Challenge best. The Blue Ridge Mountains was a great entry by  Pat. I think we might have set a record on the amount of people who voted. Now! On to the next challenge. :cp:
