Pretty landscape. Not sure it fits the challenge (other than by your title).

Technically you are showing a compound since air is made up for multiple elements.

lovely picture, if a little on the edge of the challenge. With a bit more distant mountains and a little less in the foreground I'd go with the challenge being met fully.

Stunning lighting. I like the dark and light side, also. I'm glad you didn't crop the dark element. Nice shot.

Hmm, I see more nitrogen in this shot than oxygen. Nice sunset, I think this would be more powerful without the dark rocks on the left.

Nice sunset/evening picture. I'm assuming that you are referring to the oxidized red rock not the nitrogen filled sky.

LOL....I knew someone would get a pretty scenery shot of sky and call it Oxygen! Good for you! Someone else, as you may have noticed, was a little sneaky in getting in a beatiful water scene, calling it H2O, which gets the elements in so it can't be a DNMC but, also fit in a favorite...a pretty landscape! Very clever of you! *smile*

OK scenic shot. Does not convey the elements to me and the shade on the left doesn't help.

Take an interesting, creative photo of ONE of the elements of the periodic table. The atmosphere is made up of multiple elements. lol. does not meet the challenge. nice pic though. not wise to complain in email abouts one's opinions of your photo, it is my opinion, and I am entitled to it.

Very pretty picture but I dont see it meeting the challenge entirely as air is made of lots of elements...
