July's photo contest theme is RED (the color).

Any image that contains a red colored subject or where red is prominent in the scene is a valid contest entry. This gives you a lot of leeway for potential subjects.

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.

Thinking about shooting in monochrome and saturating the red? That would be a cool idea....
Like this example perhaps?

Sure, when you shoot in RAW, you can just about do anything to your photos.

That's what Ted told me I needed to do in order to obtain the best results.
 
He also shared that with a foil hat in a electrical storm while standing cockeyed on one foot would be optimum, the later would be sufficient.

I think I'll pass on this one. Two things I hate; chiggers and people that point and laugh.

Our apples aren't even close to that size yet Ted, pretty color.

I'll send you guys some apple pics when ours are softball size. My buddy grows 20 varieties

We are in apple and grape country along Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes here in NY.
When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.
