This photo is from my trip to Alaska. I like this photo a lot because it captures the bear in its natural wilderness where it has a big piece of salmon in the background and his eyes are speaking as to say "This is my kingdom, I am the boss here". This is how the wildlife should be left, hoping we could preserve what we got. Saral Gupta of Aurora
This photo was taken on my front stairs on Wednesday 7/12 just after the rainstorm. I woke up to the sound of this fledgling right under our bedroom window. I searched for it several times during the morning until it finally appeared on our front stairs. It took cover behind the flower pot during the storm, but found a better place to wait for mother robin to return with it's next meal. Chris Ernat of Lombard
The black and white photo was taken of the band American English on Thursday, July 13th. I felt like the photo could have resembled how the Beatles were photographed years ago before digital photography. David Genty of Glendale Heights
This was taken at Glendale Heights Fest. It is a long exposure photo of the carnival ride named "Speed" as it was in full motion. The concession stands are in the foreground. Angela Cichosz of Carol Stream
