The submissions were really fantastic and knocked my socks off as I opened each link. You guys are really talented. I really loved so many shots, like the dragonfly from Sarah Halstead, the barn from Kristy at Life-N-Reflection, but my favorite had to be Kim's from Picking Poppies.
This photo looks like it should be on a wall (my wall). I love the overall mood of it. The post processing really makes it stand out as a piece of art. Truly wonderful!!
Keep up the great work and get out there with your cameras. Continue to share your photos with the world. You never know how you will touch and move people. You may just inspire the next person to shake the dust off of their camera start their own journey. :)
