Because of the holiday, we are doing our photo challenge on Tuesday & Wednesday this week. So you still have plenty of time to enter! Today I’m entering a shot I got by total accident!! I love it when that happens, especially since I have the oldest point and shoot camera ever:-)


I kept crouching down until my son was all the way in the sun. The reflection of the water and him looking through his binoculars was a one of kind photo for me… especially since this is one kid that does not stand still for long!!  This is my aunt’s pond in Oklahoma. To see more photos from my trip home, click here.

Good luck to all who enter!!!

  12. Awesome shot Amy. Love the cool blues. I won an international contest once with an accidental shot. I was shooting film, had one frame left. We were leaving a gorgeous lake in OR, visited for the first time that day. As I was walking away I turned around and just shot the dock we had been standing on, boats along side, reflection on the water, and it was the best photo on the roll. I entered it in Ritz Camera’s contest and won first place. Love those accidental shots. ?

  43. WOW! I love your accident. Really wonderful picture. I am so glad you caught this! Do you want to get a new camera now that you are learning so much at I heart faces? I have seen people that take brilliant pictures with point and shoots (as is indicated here : ) so maybe you won’t need a new one for a while! Hope your Memorial Day was happy!

  44. Man.. the sky and its reflection in the water is just breathtaking! The silhouette is such an incredible bonus… don’t you love when that happens? Ummm.. I’m guessin’ that it happens quite a bit more for YOU than for me, though! Great picture.. (and how do you keep meeting our expectations each week? Becuase, you do….)

  48. This place is so beautiful! It’s an awesome shot, I especially love how the sky was captured.

  50. I like how the lines of the sky and water are leading to the light where he is looking, which draws your eye. Hmmm, did that just make sense? Well, I think it’s a great photo. I leaned forward to try to see what he was looking at. Crazy, eh?
