July 4th - The American Independence Day. This is a very patriotic holiday in the United States. Flags are everywhere, parades, barbecue parties, and of course fireworks. One woman told me recently that she loves this holiday so much that her anticipation and preparation efforts are comparable to what many people do for the Christmas holidays. Many people enjoy all the festivities and of course the imagery that can be associated with this holiday.

Thank you for contributing to the Earth Day Image Contest! This was a complex concept to portray. While many of you submitted wonderful images, we noticed that quite a few images were off topic.

The Earth Day topic is a good example of what an image buyer may actually need. Success in stock photography relates to successfully portraying concepts such as this one.
