The purpose of these challenges is to encourage us to get out and get the best shot of an assigned subject. It's a great way to enhance your photography skills.
Even if you think you take crappy pictures, please join in. Those of you just reading the forum and not posting, this is your chance to join in and show off.

This month's challenge: "Winter Waterfalls"

Hi all,
I've been to this site several times to see where different waterfalls are that I might have missed. I live in Auburn and try to get to as many waterfalls as I can, in every season. I was interested in submitting some entries for the January Winter Waterfall contest, but wasn't sure how to do this. Do I just attach a picture to a message like this? Thanks, larry

Lets see if this works now. This is Taughannock Falls, taken last January; it is HDR with a lot of contrast.
