Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary in May, 2006 and converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors, often exceeding 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.
Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.
POTD Thread Policies
  • One Photo per Day - Don't post more than one photo each day. Diptychs, triptychs, etc. are OK.
  • All photos should be your own work unless special circumstances have been agreed.
  • Multi-Quote - To comment on several photos, click the "+ (Multi-Quote) button. This puts all your comments in one post. Multi-Quoting is required on all of the MacRumors forums.
  • Safe for Work (SFW) only - This is a site-wide rule. If you wouldn't show it in a public place, then it's NSFW (not safe for work). Think before you post.
  • Describe your photo - Tell what it is and where you took it. If you know the EXIF data of a photo, include it. The following EXIF fields are recommended: Camera, ISO, Focal Length, Shutter/Aperture and Lens.
  • Note: Anyone may start the Photo of the Day thread on the first of the month GMT. Please copy a quote of this post to maintain all the formatting.
  • Please don't alter or expand these policies - If you think they need improvement, use a separate thread to discuss.
  • Past POTD threads from August 2013 onwards can be seen here
  • Earlier POTD threads thru July 2013 can be seen here

    Local gardens decorated for Holidays and had 20 hidden gnomes (I found 7). Had a little fun with B&W layering.

What a poser! Lovely lighting as well.
Thank you! I lucked out when I spotted her sitting on a post on the pier. At first she was standing in positions I've captured her in before, or sometimes not facing the camera at all, but then she turned her head to just the right angle and bingo!! This was of course cropped from the original shot, which shows her full body, part of the post on the pier, etc., but I've done those before and thought it would be interesting to do a head-and-shoulders sort of thing since her pose all but invited just that.
