There are clearly some technical issues with this one, but it is so evocative of a trip I recently completed to the Peruvian Amazon that it it ranks as my fave of the year.

The other contributions in here are so stunning - it's an inspiration for 2008!

I have not gotten out nearly as much as I wanted, and as it figures, I had to go to disney world to get my best wildlife shot to date.

Very nice pictures in this post, this is one that i took about 3 weeks ago. i thought this was neat because it looks like he is laying his head on the branch. He was really just cleaning his beak off. i'm new to this site and am really pleased with people on this site. Being an amateur, i've been learning a good bit from reading posts and from people leaving comments on the pics that i post. Wishing everyone a Happy Holidays and great photo opportunities this coming new year.

Thanks

David

I'll fire one off in a slightly different direction. Here's my contribution. Have safe and wonderful holidays, everyone, and a well-focused and properly lit New Year.

This is my favorite elephant seal shot of the year - these guys are my very, very favorite local subjects.

Happy merry!

Well 2007 isn't over yet so I still hoping my "Best of" hasn't been shot yet, but this one will be hard to beat.

This shot is special for me because this Peregrine Falcon, along with the great wildlife posts here and at dpreview, are what inspired me to start trying to shoot wildlife.

I first saw this Peregrine at the main beach in Santa Cruz, CA during a storm on New Years day 2006. It was sitting on top of a volleyball net pole dismantling a pigeon. It saw it a few more times during that year, but never managed to get a shot off. On March 3, 2007 I hit the jackpot. I got to watch Angelina (you can read the story about how I found out her name on my web site at http://photos.psc.homedns.org/main.php/v/nature-and-wildlife/2007/2007-03-03/) feasting for almost 15 minutes before she flew away. I got almost 200 shots off, and while I screwed up a bunch of them in the excitement, I did get some that I liked. This is probably my favorite.

May be this is the signal that we can start all over again from the Moderator

. I am definitely not ready to see this wonderful thread disappear yet.

This image reminds me of my favorite statue of "End of the Trail".

I like the rain coming down and blur in the right paw. Taken at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, WA.

Here's my humble picture:

I'd been trying to take a picture of a cardinal in mid-air for an hour or two when I finally got trigger happy and as soon as this one started moving his wings I pressed the shutter and was very pleasantly surprised when I checked it and saw this!

Wonderful photos all, very impressive. Here is my humble entry, taken on a cold, damp day on the Washington coast. I think the DOF removes the world from the subject just as the subject seems unimpressed with the dismal day and goes about the normal business. I haven't posted much, this year has gotten away from me. I hope to post a lot more in the coming year.

Wow! It's really great to hear myself say that word so often as I look through an internet thread. I hope to see it going strong through the new year! I have much to learn from you all, but here is my best from this year to help keep this great thread going.

My two best, both were taken on a safari in the Selous, Tanzania this summer. I would really recommend it as a destination. Not as much game as some places but there are very few vehicles, we watched the lions on several occasions (once with 2 week old cubs!) and the wild dogs and we were the only people there, sometimes another vehicle from the same lodge would join us. On a busy day we saw two other cars! For these I used a 20D with a Canon 100-400 IS.

Not the most challenging of subjects, but it's one of my first tries at wildlife and it came out pretty decent.

Not sure if this is my best,but it was my most exciting encounter with a bird last year. I was shooting Finches feeding on berries last August when this Coopers Hawk landed 30ft. away from me. I guess Finches are pretty good eatin' for a Coopers. Vern
