Photo By Heather Nicole

A recent Tip of the Week by Russ Burden explained how his concept for “critter close-ups” was born from trying something new and fun in the field. Break out your long lens and explore the shapes, colors, textures and patterns of your favorite wildlife subjects. Deadline to submit images of abstract wildlife is September 25. —Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor
