p.1 #1 · Post Your 5 Favorite Images from 2025

This annual thread is one of my favorites. It is a real joy to see the outstanding and creative images, not just from the forums we usually visit, but from the amazingly varied and talented members across the entire site.

The hardest part for many is narrowing it down to five choices!

Enjoy the Holidays and the show of images from everyone to follow ...

Narrowing to 5 is so difficult, even in a year like this where I really didn't shoot that much.

Always a good excuse to resurrect images that otherwise would be lost in the ever renewing stream of new photos...
