THROWDOWN:: My Favorite Photo

[Richard Wood]

This is going to be tough. Please share your favorite photo of all those that you’ve taken. Here’s mine:

or is it?

or this?

See why it’s tough?

I finally decided:

[Mikell Herrick]

Nice ones @camerasinger I think I like your pink sunset the best.

I have a favourite and I tried to link from an online album but it’s not working…so I’ll upload later. …you’re right…it’s very hard to choose just one. 🙂

[Mikell Herrick]

If I had to choose just one…this is probably it. It was taken a few years ago with a Point & Shoot camera….not very high resolution…much to my regret…so I probably can’t make a very large print from it. However, I was in the right place at the right time to get this shot and doubt I will ever replicate the light and scene again.

@mikell how lovely

[Mikell Herrick]

Thanks, Richard. 🙂

[Mike Dean]

@mikell That is a stunning photo! Simply love the repetition on the reflections and the light is gorgeous!
I think these sorts of moments are probably amongst the most satisfying we can have as photographers. Unfortunately I’ve not had one in a while. It is perhaps only rivalled by when you’re shooting and the light just keeps getting better. But it’s a close call. The most frustrating moment is when you miss it by mere seconds (and sometimes even less!)…

Great idea for a throwdown too Richard @camerasinger. Give me a lifetime and I may just come up with an answer…

[Mikell Herrick]

Thanks Mike… You do understand the magic and luck of photography. And missing the shot by seconds …I know that feeling too! 🙂 @thepaparazzo

[Yvonne]

Ohhhh, that is lovely, and it would make a great print on the wall, a shame about the resolution size.

[Yvonne]

Ohhhh now this is a hard question….

I’d have to say this is the one of which I’m most proud, I think I managed to capture the feeling of eerie, yet serene silence that an early morning fog can bring to your world.

[Mikell Herrick]

Thank Yvonne @evn1ngstar …I haven’t tried to print it yet…might not be as bad as I fear…probably OK as an 8X10 at least. 🙂

[Mikell Herrick]

Yes Yvonne… that is a very moody image…and quite beautiful… almost like a muted painting …but the softness glides into clarity in the reflection and that brings out a sense of realism…really interesting transition. I can see why you would be very pleased with this one. And I hope you’re able to get a good size print from it. 🙂 @evn1ngstar

[Jonathan]

I really LOVE this photo.

[Karen]

Really great images, @mikell, @Camerasinger and @evn1ngstar! You should be very proud of these with their beautiful light and moods.

[Karen]

This was a tough throwdown, but I finally decided on one.

I chose this image, not because I think it’s my best, but because it was the one that truly sparked my love for the craft. Three summers ago, as I was walking towards my beach chair I literally gasped as I noticed the still reflection in the tidal pool. I ran back to the cottage to grab my point and shoot, and have been in love with photography ever since.

[Mikell Herrick]

Oh Karen…that’s very striking…can see why you ran back for a camera. I know that feeling too…I think that’s when you know you’re a photographer…you see something that NEEDS to be captured…and the impulse is too strong to resist. 🙂

[Karen]

Thank you, @Mikell! Sadly, I lost all the pictures and angles I took of this when my computer crashed, but I was glad that I had opened a Flickr account in 2011 and uploaded this one for safe keeping! This memory makes me always want to have a camera nearby!

ps…If your image doesn’t enlarge well for hanging, it would make beautiful note cards. 🙂

[Susan]

This is one of my favourites, I love the colour and patterns, it makes you want to feel the texture.

[Richard Wood]

@susan Love your Sunflower!

[Karen]

Oh, yes, @susan. This is a real beauty! So soft and intricate.

[Rachael Towne]

That’s a hard one…

Here are my three favorites although even that was hard.
