To our Talented members:

Your Photograph needs to be PRIMARILY 80% Ocean. With natural surroundings like driftwood, harbors, boats, rocks, etc.

*******Your photos MUST have a LEVEL HORIZON!! As in all my groups, also known as STRAIGHT HORIZONS.


THE FEATURE THREADS are there for YOUR use, don't forget to post your Features in our Discussions Archive so they'll be viewed long after they disappear from the Homepage, which often CHANGES on a daily basis and Google picks up on discussions.

Remember, This YOUR group!! Your addition to the Archive Discussions makes this group what it is. Only takes a minute to Archive your Features:)))

*******To add your Features to the discussions, simply copy/paste the URL found on your image. It's on the right-hand side below your description. Left click on that as it turns Blue.
