Good morning! Isn't it a great day today?

Today seems like the perfect day to get out of your house, take a walk and take some pictures. Or maybe you want to plan a weekend trip into a national forest in order to get the FULL EXPERIENCE.

You get a whole month to get out into the nature and take pictures of the best spots possible! Can be either a landscape photo, or a closeup of something tiny... or something inbetween!
The only rule here is, that it has to be mostly nature. If your image features civilisation, it should be abandoned/retaken by nature (like a lost place, old train tracks or an unused bench).

Improving the image by applying filters and enhancements (brightness, color correction etc) is fairgame, as long as you dont add extra content or make it a photomash. Just get the best out of your shot.
Also, no picture-collage. Single images only!
You may want to check out the previous Appreciate Nature battle as well!

While you're out in the wild, you may also want to record some ambience for the currently running Field Recording Major.

and please be aware:
the photo should
be taken during
the entry period

Yes, that's right. Don't submit photos you took on a random trip ages ago. Get up this month and take some fresh and original images!
