This thread is always the best of the year - great shots everyone
Here's one from a series I took for a family friend who wanted some photos of her horses (seven!). I'd never photographed horses before, and it was quite a challenge to capture something that looked a little different to the norm.
One of the few times I've planned what to do and managed to carry it through - hence my best of 2007 choice.
Dang it, Floris! All the hummingbird shooting I've done, I've never gotten anything like this. It's GREAT. The posture and the lighting. Well done. I'm jealous.
Mohammed,

Cheers
Tim

My contribution... I'm pleased to be in the same thread as such talented photographers!
Great stuff, all. I chose this image as it captures (to my eyes) the feeling one gets exposing
yourself to the magic of the "Bosque".
:-) Great exposure. By both photographer and subject :-)
Thats just cool.
I really love the angle, lighting, and colors.
Really looks likes like he is planning on headding home w/ you.
Thanks 4 the additional details, great going, Bob
Walter, ditto to you.
You guys are all so darn tallented. Just goes to show what getting out there(get THE shot) can provide.
Thread is rockin'--
Here's one of my favorites this year. This little Kinglet sat right in front of me for a brief moment and dished up a good pose. They're usually bouncing around all over the place....cheers...Don
