Hi, all.
I have updated the Welcome post for the thread with the changes discussed earlier this month (editing out Fortnightly Challenge and adding the link to the archive sticky) and uploaded it to my Docs folder. To start the next months thread, please click the link in my sig and download a copy of the Revised Welcome Post, change the date and copy/paste it. All formatting and links should be good to go.
I've een busy with life, but will check in when I can.

Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary in May, 2006 and converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors, often exceeding 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.
Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.

Can I make a slight few changes to the formatting?

I can't say yes or no because it's not really mine, I'm just the gatekeeper. The document (including formatting) was developed by a group of us in an open forum discussion that took around a month to complete back in 2009 or so. If you're interested in proposing changes, feel free to open a thread and solicit input from the forum community. It's an interesting process.

It's amazing how much the colors of the orange-red rocks and earth come alive in those golden hour moments.
