I had a really productive summer backpacking trip this year, but the culmination of the entire week was to get this shot. I required a good deal of effort, and it was physically a demanding week but it was all the more sweet as a result. In the end though, it is somewhat bittersweet since it was the last trip for me and my 5D -- which was with me for 5 1/2 years.

Just one? Dang, that's a tough one. I got some good wildlife, landscape and airplane shots this year. But, this particular shot has been a favorite of mine since I shot it back in April.
