Some photographers will benefit from this post.  I know at least one, who I count as a friend, who got the idea of adding numerous locations to his portfolio from watching others.  No doubt, this will tremendously increase the stature of even the worst of MM-based photographers. 

One or more of the first four moons of Neptune might be a good addition to your "Locations" section of your profile.  They are Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, and Galatea.  Those four are close enough to Neptune's orbit to be within its ring system.

Of course, Triton -- one of the other of Neptune's 13 known moons -- has a more interesting history.  It is believed that Triton was "captured" by Neptune, because Triton has a retrograde orbit.  (It moves opposite to the rotation of Neptune.)  Theories as to how such a large body was captured (most captured moons of planets are smaller) is that it either actually hit Neptune and bounced off, thus reducing its momentum, or it collided with another of Neptune's moons.

In any event, I think at least one of Neptune's moons would be a good addition to your profile and would raise many of you from a mere international level to galactic status.

P.P.S. My friend mentioned in the first paragraph listed his locations as a joke. wink 

P.P.P.S. Whatever you do, don't use Pluto.  Pluto's reputation is on the skids.
