Such a thrill for me to be hosting the Weekly Challenge.--When I took the first shot a few years ago I couldn't help but notice that the katydid was missing part of its antenna. I wondered how that came about. The 2nd shot has a dragonfly having a snack on something smaller than him.Nature can be pretty and also brutal.It really is a jungle out there.I've seen nature's creatures that you can tell that they were involved in a struggle to survive and almost made it unscathed. The shot doesn't have to be a closeup or macro.Big or small it is a battle of the fittest so enter a photo that conveys that theme.Any questions feel free to make a comment or PM me.Good luck to all--charliezap



The contest will close on Tuesday April 9th at 6PM my time here in the Boston area.
The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread. If it's not obvious, explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge closes after 7 days, then allows for a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera will do.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, the winner will PM the #2 winner and pass the baton to that person to be the judge

Fittingly, perhaps, this is at the Riverside National cemetery.

I had to rush inside and grab my camera to quickly catch this act. I'm glad I managed to get a decent shot out because the spider lost interest in her lunch not long after. Taken with my K100D Super
