Wild Stallions
Image: Chris Gimmeson,
Nature Honorable Mention,
2008 International Photography Contest [larger view].
The photographer writes:
These are two wild stallions from the McCullough Peak's herd of wild horses, which is located just outside of Cody, Wyoming. This image was taken in September 2008 with a Canon Rebel XSI and a long telephoto lens. I expected them to fight but they went back to grazing after a minute of posturing. The peaks area is pretty desolate, with little in the way…

The photographer writes;
This is a shot of three [bald] eagles fighting over a fish in Homer, Alaska, from March 2008. You can see the fish at the top of the image flying by itself, but it was caught in its fall by another eagle.
There's lots more gorgeous images here for you to enjoy!

Thanks to two of my readers, the snowflakes on my camera lens were removed from this image. This image was improved by a reader named Brandon, who removed the snowflakes and also "bumped up the color a bit" to accentuate the gold in the vegetation.

Can anyone out there get rid of the snowflakes that were on my camera lens when I took this image?

TetonCam Sunset, 2008.
Photographer comment: I'm not sure if I can take credit for this image! It was taken by a webcam I operate in Teton Valley, Idaho, on the west side of the Tetons. I recently upgraded the webcam with a 3.1 megapixel camera. The view is usually very nice but this one was particularly special so I had to share it.
