No worries, brother; I never thought you were whining. I just wanted to encourage you to keep your eyes open and realize that some of the best photos are the less obvious subjects where the photographer "thinks outside the box" and gets creative. We'd like to see as many people as possible participating in the photo contest each month. The beauty of it is you can take a camera with you virtually anywhere, so you never know what opportunities you might be presented with.
 
And truthfully you don't have to use an SLR camera.
 
That water contest this year that SEMO shooter started. I took that picture of the Pelican on the dock with my cell phone.

SNOW should be for winter not fall. Get your seasons unscrambled. Its too cold to be fall. BRRRRRR.  Whacko
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

I got a great cell phone pic yesterday. It's not a fall pic, but it's a happen chance wildlife pic. We've got a BIG hawk hanging around my area of the port, and he's not afraid of people, so I've been able to get within 4-5 feet of him and get several pics of him. Yesterday he had just caught a mouse and I was trying to get the pic and just when I snapped it, he took off. I got a head on pic of both wings straight up above him as he started his take off.
SVT posted the picture for me below. It's still not my fall entry, but getting this picture I just had to share it. Plus it made this old man learn something about using my smartass phone.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

If you like your photo and it fits the theme for you, post it! Fall has a different reality in different locations. It gets cold and sometimes snows during fall, and wildlife sightings and fall go together like peas and carrots! Most of the monthly contest themes give you quite a bit of leeway. They are open to your own interpretation...within reason, of course. Skylar and I started the monthly photo contest with the hope that we'd get much more participation than we've had so far, so don't hold back! Big Grin

Such a varied selection of trees over still waters I am in love. This is beauty.
