This is the last challenge of 2025 and of course the theme is Christmas and New Year. Basically anything goes as long as it pertains to year end festivities. Keep your images reasonably small, 1600 pixels wide or 1200 pixels high is plenty good for good resolution on the website.
Happy Holidays everyone the next Zoom session will be Tuesday, January 20, 2026 from 1 till 3 pm.

Great shot Paul, love how you captured the concentration of both subjects. Good example for the course.

Christmas in Hillhurst. We had a doggie guest overlap for a few hours and they finally settled down across from each other, a mini dachshund and a mini bernadoodle. My husband is contemplating his next move.

Taken at Spirit of Christmas in Banff this year on iPhone. I liked it as it has a sort of surreal look to it. Some post processing to darken and vignette.
