Nice photo, Streets! And knowing that old tree isn't there anymore, makes your photo even more special.
I love to see other people's great photos. Thanks for starting this thread. Very impressive shots from people here on UHH!

This picture of my grandmother may not be the most technically correct or best processed, but it's one I get the most comments on. This was taken when she was 102 and she passed away about 6 months later. (download is better, as usual).


I really like this! It appears to me that it was not posed but shot to save a moment. That is what makes it very special.

I too have several that I never tire of looking at. Your photo is superb and I can see why you keep going back for another look.

Really nice B&W image. I can see why you like it so much. Almost like a painting. Thanks for sharing.

I have one photo that I never tire of looking at. It was taken in 1964 on Sentinel Dome in Yosemite N.P. I did spend a few minutes looking for the best framing but it was still a snapshot. I was using an Alpa 6b slr at the time. The original 35mm Kodachrome slide was desaturated in post processing it hangs as a 16x10. Of the thousands of photos I have taken this is THE ONE. How about letting us see your #1
I'm proud to say that I have two photos that fall into this category. I honestly don't know which is my favorite, but I can tell you I'm very pleased with both:

Wonderful shot. Since I usually shoot people, my favourites are usually of kids. These are a couple of my favourites - not recent. The 2 kids laughing are now teenagers and two boys looking so forlorn had just lost a school soccer game. They are now in their 40's!

After a short rain at my home in Phoenix, I shot this of my then Bamboo plant in a pot. I was shooting a Canon DSLR camera at the time.

Every photographer has his/her own criteria for "Best Photo" and may be the only person so rating it. It doesn't matter if the photographer thinks is her/his best who's to debate it.

My favorite venue is boat races, sail or power so there is little similarity to many of my "best" shots but am attaching two; you make the calls.

The first photo is of a Log Canoe race on the Tred Avon River in Maryland. These four boats are all trying to round the mark at almost the same time; it shows the skills of the skipper and helmsman or woman that there wasn't an accident or collision. These boats are from a bygone era when similar and a few larger boats were the freight carriers here on the Chesapeake Bay. Most of them are original and several are 100 years old. There are only 12 left still in racing condition of the hundreds that were built in the 1800's. The steamers put them out of business; they were not necessarily faster but carried more cargo.

The second photo is of a Jersey Speed Skiff racing and almost airborne on the Choptank River in Cambridge, MD. If you look closely you will see that only 1/2 of the prop is in the water, and if the picture is really enlarged, the left rear of the hull is just above the water surface.The original boats were designed and built after WW I and with the engines then available could get up to about 30 MPH; with today's engines and flat water, they have been known to about double that speed using a four cycle 225 cu. in. gasoline engine not supercharged.
