Thank you for all the votes! My name is Pat Moore. My wife and I had just completed a Rhine River cruise and were on a walking tour of Amsterdam when I encountered this view. I captured it with a Canon EOS DSLR and a Tamron 18-200 lens. The Hartford Courant displayed in in their travel section. The only post processing was a slight bump in saturation.

Thanks to all for the votes. This is one of those photos that show that you can still get a satisfactory result with minimal equipment and improvising. For this shot I set it up a shallow tray in my bathtub, hung a Pepsi bottle from the curtain rod and some colored paper. Shot with my Canon T2i and 100mm. one external flash, hand held (no wireless remote) and a shop light clipped on the faucet head. My name is Cindy, I love photography and am so glad to have others like my shots as well.

My name is Mike Griffiths, and I took this photo as I was doing a lighthouse tour of the beautiful and rugged coast of Maine. It goes without saying one of my favorites is the Portland Head Lighthouse. I used a Kodak Max Z990 with a tripod, and just bit of post-processing in Adobe Photoshop CS5. This, along with the rest of my images, can be viewed and purchased at the following website: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/michael-griffiths.html

Thanks to all who voted. My name is Karen McDowell. This photo was taken at a horse farm in Georgetown, Ky. Shot with a Canon 20D and lightened in photoshop.

I was using my Nikon D300s with 85mm/3.5 macro lens. I just got the lens a few weeks prior. Went out on the first warm day to try it out. I noticed a spider web with drops of rain on it. I cropped the image several times; adjusted contrast and sharpened. I also flipped the image to view the scene in the bubble.

My name is Kaye Burazin and I am an avid amateur photographer. This capture was shot HDR at a abandoned farm house in Arkansas with my Canon 5D. Thanks to I shot It and it's voters for this honor. There is so much talent and inspiration out there.
