Nice shot of the azalea. Water drops on flowers can make them seem more alive.


The grasshopper is interesting! Great way to put a "non-keeper" to good use.


Don't worry too much about being "original." "Nature shots" here have been of:
  1. Birds
  2. Flowers, leaves, trees, plants
  3. Insects
  4. Landscapes
  5. Animals (wild or domestic, including spoor)
  6. Sky (including sunsets)
  7. Marine subjects (fish, mammals, invertebrates)



Kind of covers the gamut, doesn't it? The point is that every shot is unique. Some are great, some are good, some are so-so. As you can see from some of the bird shots, luck can enter, as well (e.g., capturing a bird eating a small fish), though being prepared and shooting a lot count even more.


If someone wants to be "original" with "nature" shots, try:
  1. Rocks
  2. Soil
  3. Worms
  4. ??



I'll post one a bit later that's not a plant, animal, landscape, sky, or any of the above.
