Every month, we ask our talented readers to share some of their best recent work with us. As a result, we get to spend part of every month sorting through thousands of wonderful images. This gallery is a sample of some of our favorite images submitted in the March 2012 contest, each presented with the caption supplied by the photographer. The final winners will be announced in an upcoming issue of Popular Photography. Once you've made your way through the gallery and you're feeling inspired, enter your own work in this month's contest.

This is a six image composite. I used four exposures to make the background and then shot each subject separately in the studio and made a composite of them all.
