Every month, we ask our talented readers to share their latest, greatest photographs with the rest of us for a chance to have their work appear in the pages of Popular Photography. The official winners will be announced in an upcoming issue of the magazine, but there are always fantastic photos left over that deserve to be highlighted. Here's a selection of some of our favorite photos from this month's crop of entries. They range from serene landscapes to creative self-portraits. Check out the gallery for some inspiration, then click the link below to enter this month's contest.
