This was a good try! Keep it up. One thought - some commenters have recommended using a tripod and that is best. When a tripod is just not practical like in a car, you might rig up a "beanbag." This can be made with a large bag filled about 3/4 with beans, or almost anything with "just enough" give/firmness to it to steady your camera. Drape this over the car window and you're in business. (My beanbag is a pillow case filled with a couple of old rolled up blankets.)

Up the Tree

Comment:
This is the first time I\'ve marked down a picture for being good! It is an unusual and exciting take on a tree shape, but try as I might, I could find nothing "tasteless" or "tacky" about it. Perhaps a low score in this category will bring you some bragging rights.

It's a good shot; the dog makes it special.

You covered all the bases with this one! Good seeing. Even though it appears to be a little overexposed, it still rates a 7.

Sharon - congratulations on your award. This is a stunning photograph. (I'm one of your nines, should have made it a ten.)

This is a lovely, nicely balanced ice sculpture. The water at the bottom could be read as a metal base.
