I took this one on November 4, the last day Yellowstone was open for automobiles. It was my first time shooting these majestic animals and there was alot of doubt that morning as to if we'd see this pack or not. I gotta give it up to the National Park/Refuge system here in the USA!!!

Personally tough to choose from these two of mine from a once in a lifetime trip to Alaska. If you get the chance to get up there - it's incredible.

This shot really encompasses the highlights for me during this past year. I was able to travel to Costa Rica on a mission trip and found some time to grab some of the local splendors. I can't wait to get back there and really take my time.

Thanks for starting this thread, it just really goes to show the talent and patience out there possesed by all of the N&W FMer's.

Happy Holidays and here's to an even more fruitful 2008!

This colourful Kingfisher was shot sometime in June this year and has been my all time favourite.

These extremely shy fellas normally resides in deep jungles of S.E Asia however I was forunate to have spotted a nest, a hole in the mud bank.

As it has chicks to feed, it was more tolerate of us and not flee when approached.

* pic is somehow dark but I have always prefer it a little dark with forest birdies.

Beautiful work everybody. Very inspiring to look at and even more inspired to know that very few of these awesome shots would not be getting the views that they are without the digital revolution.

As for me, my favorite is a relatively simple shot of a notoriously tough butterfly to capture. Canon 10D, EF 300mm f4, ISO 100, 1/90th at f5.6.

Picking one favorite has been difficult. Until Saturday, mine was the one I used for my avatar. I think this one is more interesting.

'After the rut'

This was one of my favourites this year for a several reasons - it was my first day out with a newly acquired Oly E Zuiko 300mm F2.8 (shot was taken with the 1.4tc on an old E-1) and the lens performed far better than I had hoped, it was my first visit to Richmond Park in the UK and the Autumn weather was just perfect and finally the A3+ print from "only" 5MP has to be seen to be believed. I can't wait for my E-3 to arrive to get some A2 size prints from this lens :-))

this might be my favorite thread ever! Seriously, I want to go out and buy dozens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and trips...

I don't really shoot wildlife and am a little embarrassed to bring the thread down like this BUT

So many wonderful photos posted. It wasn’t hard for me to pick out my best of the year. I don’t have that many to choose from. I am getting better each year and look forward to having a nice 2008.

These guys migrate through Ohio in late April early May. I do most of my shooting during this time. Birding was my passion before getting into nature photography and they seem to blend so nicely together. I was very pleased to get everything right on this shot: focus, exposure, and close to the subject! This photo won 1st place in a local nature exhibit/contest for amateurs.

My contribution... I'm pleased to be in the same thread as such talented photographers!
Great stuff, all. I chose this image as it captures (to my eyes) the feeling one gets exposing
yourself to the magic of the "Bosque".

Plenty of spectacular shot here folks! Great job all.

This isn't technically my best shot, but it was a great deal of fun and adventure getting it!

( if you weren't here the first time I posted this, do a search for my ealier thread called Hawkowl)

I can't imagine having to choose just one favorite from a whole year. It's tough enough choosing a favorite from a shoot sometimes (out of the 3 keepers I get on average).

That said, I do really like this one from just yesterday morning. I've been working on hummingbird shots for a few months now and this was a good day.

Great collection. I was wandering what to post for this. Finally decided to post this as my favorite capture for 2007. Two reasons I like this photo

1. The lighting
2. The bird it self. – I like Pelicans..

Amazing images in these thread!

This capture of a Philippine Duck (Anas luzonica, a Philippine endemic) is among my favorites for the year...

Like others its too hard to decide your own "best" of the year. I will go with this one, because I just got the call, I won the canon parks contest for 2007 with this image!

Nature on a Grand Scale

Although it's difficult to single out one favorite, I think this shot pretty much meets the criteria for me. I took this on the 30th of November. Comet Holmes has grown so large that I could no longer fit it comfortably in my telescope's field of view so I decided to use my 300f4L to try and capture a relatively wide field of view. The comet currently resides in the beautiful star fields of the constellation Perseus.
