Penguins by Blue Moon Rabbit\n\nJapanese iPhotographer Blue Moon Rabbit snapped these penguins at a corporate publicity event. The amazing effects come from one of the many filters and textures available in the Iris Photo Suite app.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Untitled by Jason Ruff\n\nThis fun street scene was captured on Columbus Avenue in NYC. Jason Ruff shot low for a great perspective. The fab colors are thanks to the Hipstamatic app -- the John S lens with Blanko film.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Little Wing by Jennifer Bracewell\n\nSnapped in Lagoon Valley of Vacaville, CA, Jennifer Bracewell grabbed a photo op of a flock of low-flying seagulls. This is a striking, cropped-down detail enhanced with the Camera+ and Lo-Mob apps.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. 30 Days of Creativity -- June 12 by Tim Letscher\n\nTim Letscher's dreamy shot evokes an Alice in Wonderland mysticism. According to Letscher, the robin is \"singing a great ditty, trying to woo some worms up from the depths after a little rainstorm.\" Taken with Ina's 1969 film and the Helga lens using the Hipstamatic app, TiltShiftGen gives the trees a far-off feel.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Four Amigos by Alex Kess\n\nCaptured at sunrise on Garie Beach, south of Sydney, Australia, Alex Kess was well-rewarded with this lovely image. The filter comes from the Mill Color App.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Sunlight by Philippe Boivin\n\nPhilippe Boivin of Montreal, Canada used an iPhone 3GS and Swanko Lab as the hardware and software behind this heavenly shot.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. The Peacock by Paul Moore\n\nWith its colorful plumage, there's no doubt the peacock is a fascinating bird. But to capture such a stunning image in black and white makes Paul Moore an amazing iPhotographer. Photogene and Plastic Bullet have helped create the effect.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Penguin Below by Tommy Poulsen\n\nThe second penguin pic to grace this gallery (well, they are adorable little critters) presents a study in shape and movement. Good old Hipstamatic brings the effects (John S lens, Ina's 1969 film). It was taken at the Marineland Dolphinarium in Mallorca.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Rooster Invents the Clouds by Ryan Teall\n\nRyan Teall explains how he created this stunning composite image: \"The photo was taken at a stock show in Denver, CO. This bird, along with hundreds of other fancy chickens, was in a cage, under fluorescent lighting. So the editing process included some initial color and lighting adjustment in Iris, transposing the chicken to a landscape shot in Juxtaposer, and adding a vignette in PictureShow and a blur mask in BlurFx.\" Simple, huh?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. All I Need is the Air by Viktor Franzen\n\nA lone duck drifts through a pond in a small village in The Netherlands.  It's the only clue you're not looking at the world upside down.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBONUS: Happy Mother's Day by Scott Abbott\r\n\nFinally, our bonus shot pictures a breathtaking bird's nest, framed to perfection. Alongside the already beautiful natural colors, Scott Abbott has enhanced the photo with the TiltShift Generator app to give it a shallow depth of field and a vignette.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Mobile Photography Galleries from Mashable:\n- 10 Amazing Hipstamatic iPhone Photos- 15 Mesmerizing iPhone Photos of Cloudscapes- 10 Ingenious iPad Self-Portraits [PICS]- 10 Terrific Tilt-Shift iPhone Photos- 10 Stunning iPhone Sports Photographs"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
