Welcome everyone to the third Powershot-series POTN challenge!
Challenge #3 - Animals
This week's challenge will be something I'm sure we've all taken pictures of: "Animals".
Entries could include animal portraits taken at home, or wild animals in their natural environment. Macro shots of insects will be fine, and you could fit the entire animal in the shot or fill the frame with an interesting detail, even producing some sort of abstract.
All that matters is that the image captures my attention. It could make me "ooh" and "aah", or it could make me stop and say "holy cow!", even though there may be no bovine in sight. 
Colours of the natural world or beautiful shapes and textures could be some ideas to make me stop and think.
Best of luck to you all. Let the challenge begin!
Post until Monday noon GMT, 30 January 2006
