Hello SYTM Members,
Lets have some fun sharing some nature photos! The winner of the contest will receive a $25.00 Target Gift Card mailed to your home!
Lets Begin!
1. Post your original nature photo (Landscape, Animals, Plants...)
2. One photo per member. Please do not create additional accounts.
3. Photos will be graded on tips from the BBC Web Site as shown below. We will also use our high-tech subjective rating system: "Ah do we like it or not?" 
Landscape Photos- Always keep your horizons(any horizontal lines) level in your photographs, otherwise your shots will appear crooked.
- Many people mistakenly put the main points of interest in the center of their photographs. Keep the main points of interest away from the center, and from the extreme edges.
- Don't shoot everything from a standing position . Look for interesting angles by changing the camera position.
- Try to avoid empty spacing your photographs.
4. Contest starts 1/11/2008 ending 2/15/2008 Looking forward to all your great photos!!
Update: Respond to this post and submit your photos right to this thread.

To start the posting (my photo does not count, of course).
This is a photo I took in 2004 when I was visiting Traverse City for a weekend. Since my memory of where exactly this was is not clear, I will folks take their best guess.
