I very rarely share pictures here. I should, but somehow I don't. So, let's make an exception to that. Here are my five pictures from this year. Who knows what would be the best, but I figured I'll just post something that I've enjoyed myself during the year.

Such an incredible set of images! Thank you to those who have already shared their work.

I only cross posted the thread to one other forum and sent a PM to Fred to see if we can get it shared to other boards to increase participation/appreciation, but I've not heard anything. Thank you to Ross and Lance for getting it onto 2 additional boards.

I guess in the ideal world the post will be pinned at the top of a multiple boards as has happened with previous annual best of threads.

Much appreciated if anyone has a way to make it happen.

Thank you all for sharing. This is always my favorite thread of the year. It's the combination of me realizing what's possible and how much more I have to learn. My 5 favorites, excluding family pics. These might not be my best of the year, more favorites that have memories along with them. In chronological order:

Finally got to see the Volcano!

These are creative and fantastic! You have an excellent eye.

Thanks for the kind words Ross. Coming from a skilled photographer like you, who also have a quite defined subject in your craft, it means a lot to me.

Thanks for kind words, Nehemiah! There are so many genres, specific subjects and personal looks in this thread that there are many favorite sets from different skilled photographers. For me, seeing many special places I'll never visit, such as the beautiful mountain picture in your set, is a great pleasure. I also visited your website at www.nehemiahphoto.com and loved especially the Astro, Analog and Decay projects - you have some beautiful colors and places there.

2, 3, 4, The Decisive Moment.

Thanks for noticing!

�The Decisive Moment� is not only something through which I have come to think about photography, but also a concept whose different interpretations I encounter from time to time - not anymore sure what it even is.

Loving the light and the sceneries in your set!
