There are already many great shots posted here. I look forward to this thread every year too.

Boy oh boy, what a great collection of incredible shots. I'm going to go off into left field for this shot. While some may think it is not a "nature shot", this image is one of my favorites for the year, and it shows the lovely effect that red algae has on light that is shining through the ice/snow that is is growing on. This was taken in September from under a melting shelf of snow pack that formed from the ample snow that fell on Central Mountain, British Columbia, over the previous winter.

Taken with a T1i, and 24-85mm lens. A Joby tripod was used in the cramped space in order to retain some sharpness from the 1 sec exposure at f22, 100 ISO.

Happy Holidays To All!!

This may be the first time that my most popular photo of a year is also my own pick. With all the work we do to take crisp images, a number of my most successful images have used motion blur.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Here is a picture I took a few days ago of a Burrowing Owl, which is rare visitor to Louisiana and probably my last post to FM. Thanks to all who took the time to offer suggestions for improvement.

Merry Christmas to all,
Tom

Oh, this is going to be a killer thread. Thanks for starting it, Khai.

For photography, 2011 was an incredible year. I was fortunate to get several firsts AND we recently had snowy owls return. For round one, I've chosen this barn owl. This shot was obtained while shooting short eared owls...and whadda you know, a barn owls shows up. It approached from a long way out and I realized it was a barn owl only once I had it located through the viewfinder. My heart started to pound as it came closer. I couldn't believe it, after looking for one for so long, it comes cruising right by me. See, it pays to get off the couch.

I'll go with this little kit fox that posed so nicely in the late afternoon light in Northern NV.

Very nice images so far, but a little light on the poikilotherms for my taste! (As always seems to be the case ).

Herb, there are many eagle shots on the forum, but this is by far my favourite so far. Simple with great focus and BG. This one deserves a wall!! Don

This is suppose to be the shot of that puffin-looking bird with its mouth full but it didnt include it?
