Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photos showing plants and critters in this photo contest in collaboration with Macphun. We have teamed up with our friends at Macphun to bring you a series of Outside Views Photo Contests. This is the first of six contests in the Outside Views Series. Each contest will have a unique theme based on outside views and will launch every month for the next six months.
A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Kathleen Clemons for her collaboration as a guest judge.
