If you're new to G+, or you just love beautiful photos, add this curated circle, and enjoy viewing the posts in your stream!

If you are a photographer of any level, you may qualify to become a member.  This circle share, a weekly contest, a lot of engagement from fellow members, and many G+ users circling you are all the benefits of being in this great club.

This circle is shared every 2 weeks, and if you want to be in the next one, add a URL to a recent G+ photo from your stream  in the comments below.  Mingle through the comments, click on some links to other people's shots and get to know some new people with similar interests.  You need at least 25% of your posts to be either your own photos, or credited work of others. (preferably G+ users!)  *Please do not add more than 1 photo per week here!*

Click photo links from others and +1 and comment, or share 
➌  Publicly share this circle-post, from a new friend's stream

➎  +1 this post to say thanks to the curator and promote all the people in the circle!!

The only required action is that you share a photo from your stream last week in the comments below.  All other engagement here has other benefits, and is your option!

➁  Check out photos from others and +1 and comment on them,
➂  Publicly share this circle-post, from a new friend's stream
➃  Add this circle  (replace it every week) and view the stream regularly.  The engagement you put in will come back to you x10!

The only required action is that you share a photo from your stream last week in the comments below.  All other engagement here has other, indirect benefits, and is your choice!

On a personal note, the PEC numbers were lower last week, and I suddenly realized that I had not shared (with 2nd notification), so that was the main reason for the delay, and last minute re-share.  Sorry for any confusion! 

I'd like to specifically invite our 'biggest' members to visit the PEC this week – the way that the new G+ metrics work, leaving your +1 and/or a comment makes a lot of difference as to the total number of users who see this post.  +Alan Shapiro +Robin Griggs Wood +Ron Clifford +Wick Sakit +Robert SKREINER  +Rodney Pike  This also ensures that you will stay in week to week!
