Hard to pick one but probably this:

An adult bull moose up close with good lighting was on top of my hit list for some years now. I made numerous trips to make it happen but mostly didn't make much progress since 2012 when I got some great photos but with shorter lenses. I had been enjoying 10 days of great skiing and photography on this trip but this was the icing on the cake.


Off to Jackson on Saturday, this time with a Sigma 150-600mm Sports so hoping for more of the same.

Hard to pick one, but i like this one, maybe not the best photo but the memories behind it make it a winner for me on our honeymoon.

Hmm... this is touch. I have what I perceive as a technical best, and a favourite that speaks to me.

Best:

I think this panorama really catches the one of the best views of the Zurich waterfront, and I did it from a very tough position, hand-held, and I can't find another one that compares to it for my city (that I can search for and find online, anyway). The fading golden winter sun was the icing on the cake.

Favourite:

I saw this middle-aged guy in Portugal and just loved the way he was striding confidently along wearing this "Young, Strong & Crazy" t-shirt. He had a lot of character.

Got a few candidates, but this is probably my favourite from this year, taken while on holiday in Barbados.

I'm struggling to choose one but I think this would have to be it...i do however have others I quite like.

Probably this one from Singapore, for the memories of a great trip

So little time this year for hobby related photography this year, weddings, wedding, weddings!
The money is nice but with my full time job, have to say I'm kind of regretting it currently, I miss my hobby!

D.P. Thats is STUNNING !!!!!

Here's mine. I like the colours, reflections and the fading sunset on the left of the shot:

I can't decide between two as they both are best for such different reasons.

I love this one for the silhouette of the tiny climber against the massive mountains

This one I don't think is a particularly interesting shot I just love how the colours came out

This shot of waves during storm imogen in February is probably my best...

..but my favourite is actually the one I took with the mamiya 6x7 film camera.

[Skynet-T800]

Probably this one of my daughter, shot using Nikon 105mm VR - great lens.

 

[englishpremier]

Loads of ones I really like from my trips in 2016.

This one is probably the best though.

 

[scamartist]

This is probably my favourite. On the 4th attempt to get a sunset shot from Pen Y Fan in the Brecon Beacons this was the first sunset with reasonably clear skies. Made for a fantastic view.

[Raymond Lin]

I don't have best but I like this one at this moment.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Some cracking shots!

 

[Phate]

Agreed, great idea for a thread.

What I like most is how these photos have technical flaws but you can see why they're the "favourites"

 

[Zogger]

Probably this one from Australia, just for the colours and the symmetry of the sky with the foreground.
