From my family's trip to Costa Rica in June, 2016. I picked this otter because it was shot from a small boat in a Caribbean side National Park in very dim shade. He just 'shooed' his family back into deep vegetation and he was about to follow. Used my trusty Tamron 5.6 300mm and Photoshop E to brighten the shade.
Love it that you do this every year around this time, Randy. Unfortunately, I could not choose just one. You'll either have to take all 3 or just not view this post.
We were in Alaska (my absolutely favorite place on earth!) again last July and were fortunate enough to spend almost an entire day at Brooks Falls. Brooks Falls = BEARS. Three shots SOOC taken with my Tamron 150-600 mounted on my D5200. It was a very dreary, drizzly (not to be confused with grizzly) day. Not my best, but some of my favorites!
Hope you all enjoy them.

Am enjoying all pictures here. You are right, lots to do and many sights for your camera in Alaska. We saw a mother bear and 2 cubs from a distance and won't be going back so your bears are especially neat for us.

Glad you enjoyed them. I joke with my husband that I would not mind dying in Alaska even if it was by being eaten by a bear. Definitely more time in Alaska in my future!
quote=Cwilson341]It's really hard to pick a favorite but here are a couple of fairly recent shots that I really liked. Since I do a lot of nature I always have favorites in that category and I have really developed a fondness for architectural type shots as well.[/quote]
Glacier National Park in May,,, Northern Lights, Went out to shoot the Milk way and got a Light show.
Breathtaking shot, Rusty Nails! One could get lost staring at this. Well done, and thanks for contributing this one to our 'Best of' thread. Most worthy!
Picking my best shot of the year is a difficult task. I must of shot 10,000 plus shots this year. This Eagle from the Tampa Zoo is one of my favorites.
This was from our trip up through Michigan. Maybe not my best one of the year. But it was fun to get away for 2 weeks.:)
It's a really pretty shot, Erv! And any shot taken on vacation always qualifies as a favorite, lol! Glad you picked this one, hard to beat a good lighthouse shot. Thanks for contributing to the 'Best of 2016' thread!

Thanks, MadMikeOne. I do look forward to this thread each year, one of the most fun ones here, and glad you enjoy it, too. I think all three of these wonderful shots bearly qualify as favorites, lol! Missing only Goldilocks in that last one! Maybe they ate her, along with that salmon? Not easy getting good shots of bears, and you managed to do so. Kudos, and thanks for sharing these with us!
