Letâs have some fun and see a thread of our ONE favorite or best photograph of 2017. I will start.
I had posted this in the Advance & Professional Portrait section, but will re-post here as it is one of my favorites of 2017. P-38 pilot in the China-Burma-India Theater, WWII. One of the 30+ veterans I have photographed this past year.
That is an outstanding portrait! It should be hanging in the US Air Force Museum, Dayton, OH.
We spent three weeks in Morocco this fall. Morocco is a feast for photographers with so many exotic locations and colors everywhere that it's hard to pick a favorite. But this Tuareg women and her child were probably my favorite--probably because of the colors and because these people were so exotic to me that I was just fascinated with everything about them. I had permission to take the pictures but an interesting aside--this woman was somewhat uncomfortable with us taking pictures until one of our companions took her aside and showed her all the pictures she'd taken. This changed the woman's attitude and she became noticeably more comfortable with us after that.

I shoot about 90% dragons and damsels for the county survey and at surveys around the country. This one from Hornsby Bend Environmental Research Center, Austin , TX. A face only a mother could love. -Doc
Pg.8 Who knew damsels could be so cute. Great shot Doc.
We were in Portugal for our daughter's wedding and was very lucky to stumble upon these 2 shots. Fisherman in Porto Covo. The other shot of the leaving cruise ship was in Lisbon.
First off, love your photo. Shows me how much work I need to do to get there from here. Here’s one of my favorites. This guy just sailed over us while walking along Carlsbad State Beach in California. Pure luck.
Of note is the fact that it was the UHH community who urged me to crop the shot to make it stronger. This advice I took to heart and was grateful to have the shot noted by Nat Geo. I was the beneficiary of very helpful comments on this forum for which I am still grateful.
I have posted this before on UHH but repeat it her... (show quote)
Hikers on the Sonheimajokull tongue of the Myrdarsjokull glacier in (as you no doubt guessed from the names) Iceland. I was struck by how the pic seemed to be a montage of the hikers superimposed on an etching of the glacier.
