Given it's getting close to the end of the year it might be time to start reflecting on the best shot we have taken in 2008.

Mine was of a Rainbow Bee Eater with Dragonfly. This image ended up winning this years Australian Photographic Society Award.

Stunning capture, indeed ! I was going to post a picture of a green bee-eater, but am going to postpone it a bit (seeing this amazing picture). hehe

You're running a bit early on this Wayne and it's also usually Laura's job to start the best of thread each year. However, at the risk of being left out....

My best - hardly. Let's call it one of my best and one of my favorites. Shot this while out stalking Bolsa Chica with my buddy Ken H. one early morning...

Great shots submitted so far. I have no idea what shot to post.......

So I guess I'll wait with Thang & see if I come up with one...

I'm not sure if it's my best, but it's certainly my favorite of this year. A juvenile peregrine, only several weeks after it was banded, along the Palisades Cliffs. I have a 12x18 portrait crop of this one up on my wall.

Great work everyone.
I have to say some of my favorites were BIF's with prey, but the day with the baby Bobcats is irreplacable, so I picked this one for favorite of '08. This was difficult lighting extremely bright and hot outside, and they were in dead shade. I was pleased these turned out at all.
