Field Trip

We’ve given you the entire year to prepare for this one!
To enter this month’s contest you must have three separate images, (2 color and/or 2 Monochrome) each image (in its category) representing a different season!
In other words; you must have 2 images in the color category, and/or three images in the B&W category to enter at all! And each of those three images must be of a different season! Images will still be judged and prized individually, per tradition.
